As Muslim faithful from Delta State perform the sacred Hajj pilgrimage in Mecca this Eid-el-Kabir, their prayers carry a deeper purpose: asking for strength and wisdom for Nigeria’s leaders amid challenging times.
Alhaji Auwal Tukur, Chairman of the Delta State Muslim Pilgrims’ Welfare Board, reminds us that this holy celebration is more than rituals, it’s a call to sacrifice, selflessness, and unity. Drawing inspiration from Prophet Abraham’s obedience, he urges everyone to reflect on how these values can shape a better Nigeria.
Beyond personal devotion, these pilgrims use their time in Mecca to pray for peace and progress back home. They emphasize that love and generosity should cross all divisions, tribal, religious, or social, to build a stronger nation.
Their support for Delta State’s leadership, especially Governor Sheriff Oborevwori’s MORE Agenda, highlights a hopeful vision for local development driven by inclusive leadership. Meanwhile, the call for law and order shows a demand for accountability that many Nigerians share.
The prayers led by the Chief Imam of Ekiti State reinforce this shared desire: a united, peaceful Nigeria moving toward real progress.
This pilgrimage is a reminder that leadership and community are intertwined, and that true growth starts when people come together in faith and purpose.
