Mudirul of Markaz University College, Agege, Sheikh Habibullahi Adam El-Ilory, has  urged Nigerians to rally behind President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, offering prayers and support for his efforts to revitalize the country’s socio-economic landscape.

As a renowned Islamic scholar and educator, Sheikh El-Ilory’s call to action underscores the importance of unity and collective support for the nation’s leadership.

The Islamic cleric made this call on Monday when an alumnus of the varsity, Personal Assistant on Special Duties to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Alhaji Yusuf Kamorudeen, visited his alma mater, Markaz Agege, where he received a warm welcome from students and the Mudirul Markaz, Sheik Habibullahi Adam El-Ilory.

The visit represented a meaningful connection between government leadership and religious institutions, highlighting the importance of spiritual guidance in governance.

During the visit, Sheikh El-IIory extended his blessings through prayers for the presidential aide, President Tinubu, and the nation as a whole.

In his address, Sheik El-IIory emphasized the critical nature of public support for leadership, particularly during challenging periods.

“When a government faces crises, the damage that occurs in just 24 hours can take more than a month to repair,” the revered cleric observed.

“As citizens, it’s in our best interest to pray for and contribute to our government’s success, since its stability ultimately benefits us all.”

The significance of the occasion was further emphasized by the presence of distinguished guests who accompanied Alhaji Yusuf Kamorudeen.

These included Sheik Abdulraheem Abdullahi Salaty (Albaarizy), the Ilorin-born Islamic cleric; Sheik Morufudeen Sulaimon; Alhaji Saheed Suberu; Alhaji Dr. Sulaimon Lafeef; Alhaji Ayodeji Folorunso; Chief Habeeb Okunola MON (Akosin of Yorubaland); and ACP Sefiu Bamidele Akande, Commander of the Presidential Escort.

For Alhaji Yusuf Kamorudeen, Markaz Agege remains a beacon of education and spiritual development, exemplifying its crucial role in nurturing leaders dedicated to serving their communities and the nation.

This visit reinforced the enduring bond between leadership and community, demonstrating how spiritual guidance and public support are essential elements in effectively navigating the complexities of governance.
