We are also grateful for the warm reception Your Excellency accorded the delegation of South West Muslim Leaders at the Federal Executive Council Chambers, Abuja on Friday, 20th October, 2023.
Your Excellency, South West Muslim Leaders love you. We believe in your Renewed Hope Agenda and defend your policies at every opportunity. We see light at the end of the tunnel.
Recently, Your Excellency met with Christian leaders in Jos.
It will be an opportunity for Mr.
