Muslim Group Celebrates Buhari’s Return

The council of Imams and Alfas in Ibadan, Oyo State has joined millions of Nigerians in celebrating the return of President Muhammadu Buhari, who recently came back to Nigeria from an extended health vacation in London.

The council in a statement signed by its spokesman, Alhaji Abdulfatai Alaga said “it’s only Almighty Allah that creates life and him alone has the capacity to take it”, adding that it is sinful for any man to pronounce death on fellow man when the man is only sick.

The council under the headship of the Chief Imam of Ibadan Sheik Abubakar Agbatomokekere, however, warned Muslim from the act of mischief, stating that a person that professes on another, automatically becomes the enemy of God and shall be guilty of sending a soul to an untimely grave.

The council enjoined Buhari to channel the vigour he acquired during the recent medical trip abroad towards revitalising the Nigerian economy, fighting insurgency to a standstill, solving the Niger Delta crisis and ensuring critical infrastructure is revamped.

While also enjoining Muslims to continuously pray for good health of President Buhari, the Islamic religious leader also charged Muslims to obey Allah’s decree that says “we should pray for our leaders, pray for peace, progress, development and unity of the country after the regular hourly prayer.”
