“No doubt, Nigeria is facing security challenges and we are doing our best to support the security personnel. That does not mean we should not seek divine intervention. This prayer session is part of the interventions and I commend the state governor for this.”
In his remarks, Abdullahi Ganduje, Kano governor, thanked Buhari for his efforts in ensuring that the state remains peaceful.
The governor noted that Nigeria is indeed facing security challenges, and there is a need to seek divine intervention to overcome the challenges.
He stated that the government is ready to make the prayer session an annual event where the state would invite global Islamic scholars to grace the event.
