Vice-President Namadi Sambo has led other prominent Nigerians to
pray for the nation’s peace, progress and the eradication of terrorism
and social vices.
The event, tagged: National Prayers for Peace and Security, was held at the National Mosque in Abuja.
Sambo urged the Muslim Ummah to pray for Nigeria’s peace and progress and an end to insurgency.
The vice-president said prayers are strong weapons against any adversity.
He said: “Let me reiterate that when any adverse situation befell the Ummah during the time of Prophet Muhammad and the Sahabah (the companions), their greatest weapon was resorting to prayers to seek Allah’s intercession.
“We shall continue to organise prayers as frequently as possible, and Allah, in His infinite mercy, will answer our prayers in removing acts of terrorism by Boko Haram and all other vices in Nigeria.
“Let me at this juncture urge all Nigerians to continue to pray for lasting peace and unity of our dear country.”
Sambo advised the Ummah to promote the ideals of Islam by living according to the tenets of the religion.
He said: “Islam promotes peace, good neighbourliness and kindness.”
The vice-president also urged Muslims not to allow “the few disgruntled elements among us to portray Islam and Muslims in bad light”.
He urged Muslim clerics to be modest in their sermons.
The vice-president called for strict adherence to the Sunnah (ways of life) of Prophet Mohammed.
Sambo reiterated the commitment of the Goodluck Jonathan administration to the provision of tight security and at ensuring the nation’s stability and unity.
The vice-president said the Federal Government was doing its best to bring back safely the schoolgirls abducted in Chibok, Borno State, over two months ago.
He said: “The government is working assiduously to support the efforts of the military by increasing its capacity in the search for our missing girls and to further secure the territorial integrity of the nation.”
Sambo expressed appreciation for the support Nigeria was getting from its neighbours and other African countries in the fight against terrorism.
The vice-president hailed the United Kingdom (UK), France, the United States (U.S.), China and other countries for partnering Nigeria on Boko Haram insurgency.
House of Representatives Speaker Aminu Tambuwal said the National Assembly would do use its constitutional powers to support government’s efforts in the fight against terrorism.
