Hundreds of Muslims including the Emir of Kano, Muhammad Sanusi II and Governor Abdullahi Ganduje, on Thursday offered special prayers for sustainable peace and stability in Kano state and Nigeria.
NAN reports that the special prayer session, held at the Kano Central Mosque, was led by the Chief Imam of Kano, Prof. Sani Zaharaddeen.
The prayer, organised by the Kano State Government in conjunction with the Kano Emirate Council, was attended by Imams of all Juma’at Mosques in the state.
It featured the recitation of the Holy Qur’an, followed by special prayers for Allah’s intervention to bring about lasting peace, stability and security nationwide.
In his remarks, Governor Ganduje said said the current security challenges in the country necessitated the prayers, adding that it was principally aimed at seeking God’s intervention for sustainable peace in the state and Nigeria at large.
Similarly, the Emir prayed for President Muhammadu Buhari to steer the country out of its present economic predicament.
He also prayed for the new service chiefs and the military to win the war against insurgency in the country.
