Clerics in Yobe state of Nigeria, have been urged not to relent in praying for the nation’s prosperity and its leaders.
The state governor, Mai Mala Buni, made the calls today while playing host to the National Leader of Jama’atul Izzalatu Bid’a wa ikhamatu Sunnah (JIBWIS), Shiek Abdullahi Bala Lau, who paid him a courtesy call.
The governor, who was of the view that religious leaders have great roles to play in shaping the thinking of leaders, the people and the government for a better country, said “You serve as reminders, guiding leaders in government and the society.”
“The sermons and preaching of clerics should guide leaders to serve God and humanity for an improved welfare to the people.”
