The President-General of the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) and Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar III, has said Bola Tinubu’s trajectory in Nigerian politics is known to the council.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the Sultan stated this in a congratulatory message to Tinubu, issued by the NSCIA’s Deputy Secretary-General, Prof. Salisu Shehu, on Tuesday in Abuja.
The Sultan was quoted as saying, “We have followed with keen interest his trajectory in the Nigerian political landscape.
“We can attest to his track records in public service, his decades of hard work, selflessness, sacrifice, unflagging commitment and dedication to the Nigerian project.
“And the excellent interpersonal relationships that he had built across the country over the years.
“He is a very experienced human and financial resources manager, a hunter of talents and an enabler of men and women.”
The NSCIA noted that “Tinubu would also foster unity, peace and engender sustainable development that we all crave”.
“Justice is considered as the hallmark of leadership and a non-negotiable requirement of Islam.
“We would like to remind him that as a Muslim in a position of authority, leadership is trust and a lot will also be expected from and demanded of him by the people of this great country,” the NSCIA added.
“We pray that the Almighty Allah bless him abundantly and grant him success so that his tenure shall be a reference point in the annals of leadership in this country.
“We also beseech Allah to guide, guard and grant him the wisdom and strength to discharge his duties creditably.
“This is to showcase and enhance the image of Islam by his exemplary conduct and performance,” he said.
