2,500 clerics offer marathon prayers for Tinubu’s 2023 Presidency in Kano

No less than 2,500 clerics assembled on Saturday to offer prayers for the success of Bola Tinubu’s presidential ambition ahead of the 2023 general elections in the country, Top Naija reports.

The special prayer was organized by the Managing Director, Federal Housing Authority, Abdullmumini Jibrin Kofa.

The prayer session was conducted in his hometown of Kofa village in Bebeji Local Government Area, Kano State, around 11:30 am.

The event was also attended by politicians from across the state.

The prayer was led by the Chief Imam of Kafin-Maiyaki, who recited verses from the Holy Qur’an.

After the prayer session, the former House of Representatives member who represented Bebeji/Kiru Federal Constituency gave scholarship grants to 2,500 girls.

He also empowered another 2,500 youths who underwent training in various skills under his empowerment program.

Speaking at the empowerment program, Kofa said the special prayer was conducted for peace and stability in the country.

He said, “This special prayer was organized for the success of the presidential ambition of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the forthcoming general elections as well as for peace and stability in the country.

According to him, the prayer was conducted by over 2,500 ulamas drawn from all over Kano State.

He explained that over 2,500 youths who have been trained in various skills were empowered.

“Today a total of 2,500 youths received startup capital and scholarship grants to over 2,500 girls selected from the 44 LGAs of Kano State.

“Each of the beneficiaries received financial support ranging from N100,000 downwards,” Kofa stated.

Tinubu has gone on to play an important role in the Buhari administration, supporting government policies and holding onto the internal party reins, in lieu of his long-held rumored presidential aspiration.

In 2019, he supported Buhari’s re-election campaign defeating the PDP candidate Atiku Abubakar. In 2020, following an internal party crisis which led to the removal of Tinubu ally and party chairman Adams Oshiomole, it is believed the move was to scuttle Tinubu’s presidential prospects ahead of 2023
