Amidst Worsening Security, Speaker Abbas Calls For More Prayers

The Speaker of the House of Representatives Honourable Abbas Tajudeen, congratulating Muslims in Nigeria and worldwide for witnessing another Ramadan said Nigeria needs prayers more than ever before.

The Speaker said this after the country just witnessed the mass abduction of pupils in Sokoto State by suspected bandits, followed by the previous ones in Borno and Kaduna States within one week, which the Speaker has condemned in strong terms.

In a statement signed by his Special Adviser on media and publicity Musa Kirishi, on Monday, the Speaker said, “There is no better time to pray for Nigeria than in the Holy Month, as the country needs divine intervention more than ever before”.

Speaker Abbas urged not only Muslims but all Nigerians to pray for the unity of the country and for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration to be able to tackle the numerous socio-economic and security challenges facing the nation.

He also urged Nigerians to remember in their prayers those who have been abducted by various armed groups across the country and have remained in captivity.
