Ibadan chief, Adegoke, seeks prayers for Tinubu, others

The Aare-Onibon Balogun of Ibadanland and Chairman of Solution 93.9 FM, Chief Adegboyega Adegoke has called on Nigerians to continue to support and pray for the success of President Bola Tinubu and other political leaders in the country.

Chief Adegoke also urged Nigerians to be patient with the president, saying they should use this period of Ramadan and Lent to offer prayers for God to guide the political leaders aright so that the economy can bounce back.

He stated this on Wednesday while supporting 200 widows with total sum of N5,000,000 (five million naira) at N25,000 per widow in the holy month of Ramadan and Lent.

He said both Islamic and Christian religions teach their adherents to always support and pray for people in power.

He said this becomes necessary because if the government performs well, it will make the economy in good shape and all citizens will benefit from a sound economy.

A total of N5m at N25,000 per widow was disbursed at the brief ceremony, noting that the token given to widow has no political undertone.

According to him, “It is just to help humanity. We have done it before and we will continue doing it. I just feel like helping the needy. We should assist our mothers, especially the widows during this Ramadan and Lent.

“People incur a lot of expenses during these period. Also, even before the Ramadan and Lent many people have been finding it difficult to feed themselves. During these period, it is expected that we take care of the needy and that was what facilitated the programme”.

He said the prayer for the success of the governments at both the federal and State levels is very important, especially during these holy periods.

The beneficiaries were elated and they prayed for the safe protection of Chief Adegoke’s life and prayed for the progress of Solution FM.
