The Emir of Zuru, Alhaji Muhammad Sani Sami, Gomo III, has renewed his call for intensified prayers to seek divine intervention in the persistent security challenges facing Nigeria.
The monarch made the call on Friday at his palace in Zuru, Kebbi State, during the weekly post-Jumu’ah special prayer session for peace, unity and development.
Sami said the Zuru Emirate had maintained the tradition of offering special prayers for peace since he ascended the throne. He stressed that the prevailing security situation required renewed spiritual intervention alongside the ongoing efforts of the government.
He urged Nigerians to turn to Allah through their various religious leaders and followers, while continuing to support the efforts of government authorities to tackle insecurity.
The emir acknowledged the resources and efforts being deployed by governments at various levels and other stakeholders to address insecurity, but said the persistence of the challenge made it necessary for citizens to complement those efforts with sincere prayers.
He also commended the commitment of Kebbi State Governor, Nasir Idris, to tackling insecurity and promoting sustainable development across the state.
Sami urged residents of Zuru Emirate and Kebbi State to continue supporting and praying for the governor, saying collective support was necessary for peaceful coexistence and the socio-economic wellbeing of the people.
The special prayer session was led by the Chief Imam of Zuru, Alhaji Suleiman Muhammad Tanko Liman, and the Sarkin Mallaman Zuru, Alhaji Musa Balarabe, alongside other Islamic scholars in the emirate.
