Sen. Abdul’Aziz Yari (APC-Zamfara), has urged Muslims to use the Ramadan period to pray for President Bola Tinubu, to stabilise the nation’s security and economy.

Ibrahim Muhammad, Chairman of the Publicity Committee of Yari Political Organisation, made this known in a statement issued in Gusau on Sunday. Yari, an ex-governor of Zamfara, currently represents Zamfara West Senatorial District at the National Assembly.

Muhammad quoted Yari as saying this when he hosted some members of the All Progressives Congress (APC), drawn from 147 political wards across the 14 Local Government Areas of the state, in his residence at Talata Mafara town.

He noted that Islam directs its followers to always pray for the success of their leaders, “because they (the leaders) steer the wheel of their (followers) lives.” The lawmaker said that the nation and its leaders needed prayers from all and sundry.

Yari donated ₦50,000 to each of the 2,500 participants of the five-day Ramadan programme in addition to one set of clothes ahead of the Sallah festival.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) learnt that a total of 2,500 APC members, in batches of 500 persons per day, participated in the five-day event.
