The cleric said that it was only by so doing that the desired rapid socio-economic and political change would become a reality.
He urged the intending pilgrims to seek clarifications from the Islamic scholars over issues they did not understand during the exercise to enable them to perform an acceptable hajj.
He called on eligible Nigerians who had registered but yet to collect their permanent voter cards to do so immediately.
He said it was only by obtaining permanent voter cards that eligible voters could elect credible leaders that would ensure good democratic governance.
