Tinubu called on the Muslim faithful to intensify prayers to Allah to end insurgency and restore peace across Nigeria, saying: “The country is faced with serious security and economic challenges. Most troubling is the spate of violent attacks on innocent Nigerians. We must take a stand against terror and injustice.
“We should adhere to the principles of Islam, respect each other, be tolerant, patriotic, and stay away from anything that can cause violence and claim lives and properties. We should pray to Allah to expose the sponsors and perpetrators of attacks, kidnapping, and abductions.
“Allah has created us to build a better Nigeria for all and sundry, not to destroy the country and make it unattractive to each other.”
