President of the University of Lagos Muslim Alumni (UMA), Alhaji Akeeb Oladokun, has called on Muslims nationwide to pray for the success of President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration. He said this in a statement ahead of the 21st Pre-Ramadan Lecture of the body holding at the University of Lagos Main Auditorium on June 7. Oladokun said the task before Buhari was daunting, adding that dogged determination, sincere efforts and unflinching support as well as prayers would be needed to surmount the task of rebuilding the nation.
He also urged Muslims to prepare well enough for the Ramadan fast in order to maximise the benefits inherent in the Holy Month. The UMA president said the topic of the Lecture, “Public Trust: An Obligation for credible Leadership,” was carefully chosen to set the agenda for the country’s political class so as to lead with the fear of God. According to him, Prof Tabiu Mohammed of the Faculty of Law, Bayero University, Kano and Sheikh Adul Mojeed Eleha, Chief Imam, Daaru Nai’m Central Mosque, would address the topic while the Vice Chancellor of the University of Lagos, Prof Rahaman Bello, would be the chief host. Muslims around the world observe 29 or 30 days fast in the month of Ramadan which is the fourth of the five pillars of Islam.
