Remember Accountability, Responsibility To God, Nigerians -Lagos Imam Tells Tinubu

The Chief Imam of Lekki Central Mosque in Lagos, Ridwan Jamiu, has called on President Bola Tinubu to remember accountability to God and his responsibility to Nigerians.

A statement by presidential spokesperson, Bayo Onanuga, said the chief imam spoke on Friday during a sermon at a Jumah prayer attended by Tinubu.

Onanuga quoted the Imam as saying, “We are proud of you. I remember that we encouraged people to vote for you during the campaigns. We thank God that you have not disappointed us.

“We know you are capable. We know you have the sagacity. We know you are competent. We believe and pray that you are not going to disappoint us. May Allah continue to be with you.

“Allah has entrusted Nigeria to you and will ask you for this trust. Remember accountability and responsibility to the people. Responsibility is to the people, and accountability is to Allah when you return to Him.

“You bear one of the names of Prophet Muhammad, Ahmed, someone who does what is praiseworthy. This name has been reflected in your past actions, and we hope it will reflect in your actions now.”

EKO HOT BLOG recalls that the President arrived in Lagos on December 18 to spend the festive season, shortly after presenting the 2025 budget to the national assembly.

The president also cancelled all public engagements last Saturday, including a boat regatta in Lagos, to honour victims of recent stampedes in Oyo, Anambra, and the federal capital territory, FCT.

Tinubu on December 23, hosted his maiden presidential media chat at his Ikoyi residence and has since been receiving private visitors as part of the holiday festivities.
