As part of the observance of Ramadan, Her Excellency, Hajiya Fatima Tajuddeen Abbas, PhD, wife of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, organized an iftar and a special prayer session in Zaria. The event was aimed at invoking blessings on the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, and seeking divine guidance for the prosperity of the nation. Special prayers were also offered for her husband, Rt. Hon. Tajuddeen Abbas, PhD, GCON.
The session, held on Thursday in Samaru, Zaria, was coordinated by her son, the Director-General of NILEST, Dr. Auwal Mustapha Imam, alongside Malam Mainasara Isma'il. During the event, they urged clerics to pray for the success of President Tinubu's administration. Dr. Imam emphasized the significance of the last ten days of Ramadan for supplication, calling on the clerics to pray not only for the government but also for the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the nation as a whole.
In his remarks, Malam Mainasara Isma'il, Senior Legislative Aide to Speaker Tajuddeen Abbas on Islamic Matters, led a gathering of 100 selected Islamic scholars and chief imams from various parts of Zaria. He underscored the purpose of the iftar and prayer session, stressing the need for divine intervention to ensure the administration's success in governing the country effectively. The clerics also extended their prayers to key figures in the government, including the First Lady and Mother of the Nation, Distinguished Senator Oluremi Tinubu, CON, and the wife of the Vice President, Hajiya Nana Shettima.
Following the event, Her Excellency, Hajiya Fatima Tajuddeen Abbas, reaffirmed her commitment to regularly organizing such prayer sessions. She stated, "There is only one weapon that can solve any problem—it is prayer. No matter how strong the challenge, prayer can dismantle it."
As a gesture of appreciation, Hajiya Fatima, represented by her son, Dr. Auwal Mustapha Imam, and Malam Mainasara Isma'il, distributed bags of rice to each cleric who attended the event.
