Hence, let us use this occasion to offer ceaseless prayers for the present leadership of President Muhammadu Buahri led Federal Government, Senate President, Senator Ahmed Lawan, Speaker Femi Gbajabiamila, and all our Governors, Legislators and the entire nation for the growth and development of the country through sustained peace and committed sacrifices.”
Aare Hassan while congratulating Muslim faithful in Yoruba Land and by extension Nigeria, urged them to celebrate with caution by avoiding crowded gathering and maintaining proper hygiene, keeping to the rules of social distancing, wearing of nose mask, hand sanitizer and washing of hands regularly.
He cautioned and admonished them to always follow all the aforementioned laid down safety protocols for Covid-19 pandemic so as to contain the spread of the deadly virus in the wake of the third wave, regrettably coming with a more deadlier transmissible Delta variant.
