Senator Ademola Adeleke, Osun State’s governor-elect has called on religious leaders to intensify prayers for the state to experience a peaceful transition next month.
This was contained in a statement obtained in Osogbo on Saturday signed by Adeleke’s spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, on the occasion of Prophet Muhammed’s birthday anniversary.
Adeleke, who declared that the prayers of clerics and their congregations remained indispensable, said the wellbeing of Osun must be put on the front burner.
The statement read in part, “I join Muslims, locally and internationally to mark this significant and sacred day when the Messenger of Allah entered this world thereby starting a new wave of revival and expansion of faith in Almighty God.
“As we celebrate in prayers and rededication to teachings of our Prophet, I urge our religious leaders to intensify prayers for a peaceful transition of power next month.”
