Gov Buni urged Nigerians to pray for leaders

Yobe state Governor Dr Mai Mala Buni CON, has urged Nigerians to pray for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, other leaders and security operatives for divine guidance and improved security across the country.
Governor Buni made the call in Damaturu today when the leadership of the Shiek Usman Dahiru Bauchi foundation, paid him a courtesy call at the Government House.
He explained that prayers come with divine guidance for leaders to deliver good governance to improve the lives of the people, while negative prayers for leaders beget poor leadership and poor service delivery.
“It therefore becomes important for us to pray to almighty Allah to guide the President, Governors and all those in positions of leadership to succeed with improved security and for peace to reign in Nigeria”, Buni said.
The Governor also urged the people to pray for the security forces “Here in Yobe state, we have seen the efficacy of prayers in the fight against insurgency; we should therefore continue praying for the country.

“We have representatives from Morocco, Algeria, other countries and states across the country who are here to pray for the nation.
“We appreciate Yobe state for supporting this programme, we will pray for Yobe and other States, our leaders and peace in Nigeria”, Sheikh Ibrahim assured.
