PRAYERS ONLY SOLUTION TO BRING BACK NIGERIA TO RIGHT TRACK, SAYS GOVERNOR ABIODUN
The Governor pointed out that prayer is a promoter of peace and when there is no peace, nothing would be achievable in the country, emphasizing that his administration believed so much in the efficacy of prayers because it has helped and guided his ‘Building our future together agenda’
“A lot of Nigerians should change their bad attitudes. People can pray but if they have wrong attitudes and beliefs, it counters prayers. Greediness, disobedient and other immoral behaviors are counterproductive to prayers, so Nigerians have to moderate their behaviours to make sure that the things they do are in line with their prayers” he said
The Abeokuta Branch Chairman of Sa’adatul Abadiyya Organisation of Nigeria, Dr. Mudashiru Oguntade, earlier in his welcome speech said the importance of prayer at a time like this cannot be over emphasized.

The representative of the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs, (NSCIA) and Secretary-General of the Council, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede in his remarks said the special prayer was organised to promote peace, development and growth of the nation.
