President of the Ninth Senate, Senator Ahmed Ibrahim Lawan, Ph.D., GCON, Sardaunan Bade, Yobe North Senatorial District, said it was a truly uplifting experience to be surrounded by fellow Muslims in a place of such significance.
Senator Ahmed Lawan revealed this in a statement shared with journalists in Damaturu, shortly after he attended Juma’at prayers at the National Assembly mosque in Abuja.
“As I stood in prayer, I couldn’t help but think of the important work being done by us in the national assembly. As lawmakers, we are tasked with making decisions that affect the lives of millions of Nigerians; therefore, it is crucial that we approach our responsibilities with integrity, wisdom, and a deep sense of duty.
He revealed that, as I prayed, I asked Allah (SWT) to grant success to the National Assembly and its members under the leadership of its Chairman and my successor, His Excellency, Sen. (Dr.) Godswill Akpabio, CON. May we all be guided by generosity in all our decisions and actions.
May we work together in harmony and unity for the betterment of our beloved country. Above all, may we be shining examples of selfless leadership at all times.
The President of the 9th Senate said, “I left the mosque with a renewed sense of hope and optimism for the future of Nigeria. I believe that with faith, hard work, and the support of Nigerians, our country can overcome any challenge and achieve great things.
“And I will continue to pray for the success and well-being of our national assembly and its legislators, knowing that our work is vital to the progress and prosperity of our beloved nation, he said.
