In the same vein, Concerned Yoruba Muslim Scholars in Nigeria (CYMSN) has prayed for peaceful general elections and endorsed All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, for this weekend’s contest.
During a prayer session at the National Mosque, Abuja, the group’s Secretary General, Prof. Abideen Olaiya, advised politicians against heating up the polity through unguarded utterances.
He deplored the calls in certain quarters for interim government and election postponement, warning that such could jeopardise the electoral process.
CYMSN observed that Tinubu possesses the competence, capacity and ability to bring good governance to Nigerians if elected president.
Olaiya continued: “We are an organisation working for the peaceful transition of electoral process. We organised this prayer as an intercessional prayer for divine favour from Almighty Allah to make transition that is ongoing peaceful and successful.
“The fuel scarcity and naira redesign policy crises, among others are giving us a serious concern. And we have gathered to pray to Almighty God to give us intervention so that we can have a smooth and peaceful conduct of the electoral process.
“We are equally praying for the victory of Asiwaju and Shettima presidential project. The Ummah have sat severally and we have taken our decision to endorse the presidential project of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Kashim Shettima. We are equally praying that Almighty Allah will give them victory in the upcoming elections. And we are equally praying that Almighty Allah should make them to be able to deliver good governance to Nigerians because Nigerians are seriously yearning for capable and competent leader to take over from President Muhammadu Buhari.”
The scribe pleaded: “We are advising the political leaders to take it easy for themselves. This situation with the electorate is not as rosy as it were. We want the politicians not to unnecessarily heat up the polity by making statements that could destabilise the country.
“This election has been planned over the last two years. We hope that the politicians would not make any mistake that can make anybody to come and say ‘Fellow Nigerians’ again. The politicians should not make any mistake that can truncate the electoral process.”
The session, which witnessed recitation of the Qur’an, was presided over by the President General, Sheikh Abdurrasheed Mayaleke.
