Tinubu Says He Asked Allah For Wisdom And Resilience To Continue Serving Nigerians, Believes His Prayer Has Been Granted.
Tinubu made this known on Monday while reflecting on his Umrah pilgrimage, during which Saudi Arabia’s King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman granted him and members of his Nigerian delegation permission to pray inside the Holy Ka’abah.
Sheikh Dahlulah Muthawal of Masjid al-Haram led the President into the sacred structure, where he offered prayers of gratitude for the opportunity to serve as Nigeria’s leader.
Expressing his appreciation, Tinubu said, “I can’t believe the fencing of the Ka’abah is in Green-White-Green, which reminds us of the Nigerian identity.”
He described the experience as historic, adding, “I asked for wisdom and resilience to continue to serve the people. I know that prayer has been granted. Before the 2023 election, I did the same thing. I asked Allah to bless my Umrah then, and He did. And I promised that I would come back to thank Him.”
