    The Chief Imam of Lekki Central Mosque, Ridhwan Jamiu, on Friday said President Bola Tinubu had not disappointed Nigerians.

    The cleric said this during the Juma’at prayer at the Lekki Central Mosque in Lagos, with President Tinubu in attendance.

    “We are proud of you. I remember that we encouraged people to vote for you during the campaigns.

    ” We thank God that you have not disappointed us.

    “We know you are capable. We know you have the sagacity. We know you are competent.

    “We believe and pray that you are not going to disappoint us.
    ” May Allah continue to be with you. Allah has entrusted Nigeria to you and will ask you for this trust,” he said.

    He urged Nigerians to be grateful to Allah during times of fortune and be patient during adversity.

    He reminded the faithful that unwavering hope and faith were essential to believers, even in challenging circumstances.

    He assured the president of the steadfast prayers and support of Muslim faithful as he governed the nation.

    The cleric urged the president to remember accountability and responsibility to the people, saying responsibility was to the people while accountability was to Allah.

    “Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said: ” The most beloved of all people to Allah is the righteous and just leader.’
    “We have seen righteousness in you and fairness and justice in you. Please keep it up and sustain it.

    “You bear one of the names of Prophet Muhammad, Ahmed, someone who does what is praiseworthy.

    ” This name has been reflected in your past actions and we hope it will reflect in your actions now.”

    The Juma’at prayer was the president’s first public outing since attending prayers at the Alausa Central Mosque on Dec. 20.

    The president arrived in Nigeria’s commercial capital on Dec. 18 after presenting the 2025 budget to the joint session of the National Assembly.

    In honour of victims of the stampedes in Oyo and Anambra States as well as the Federal Capital Territory, which claimed lives, Tinubu had cancelled his public engagements.

    On Dec. 23, the president hosted the maiden Presidential Media Chat at his Oyinkan Abayomi Drive Residence in Ikoyi.
    As part of the Christmas and holiday festivities, he also received private visitors daily. (NAN)
