Ovie Omo-Agege, a former deputy president of the senate, has asked Muslims to pray for President Bola Tinubu to tackle the country’s security and economic problems.

In a message on Tuesday to mark the Eid-ul-Mawlid celebration, Omo-Agege urged all Muslims to imbibe the noble life, virtues, and teachings of the Holy Prophet, which include love, forgiveness, peaceful coexistence, and selfless sacrifice.

In a statement by Sunny Areh, his media adviser, Omo-Agege, who was the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the last election, also asked citizens to pray for the country.

“I felicitate with the Muslim faithful in the country on this occasion of Eid-el-Maulud. I urge them to imbibe the noble life, virtues, and teachings of Holy Prophet Muhammad, which include love, forgiveness, peaceful coexistence, and selfless sacrifice, and to exhibit those attributes as we relate with one another,” Omo-Agege said.

“Let us also use the occasion to pray for our country and for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as he takes very bold steps to confront the multifarious challenges facing the country, especially the economic and security challenges.

“The government needs our support, understanding, and indeed sacrifice to end the present economic downturn. This will engender our path to economic revival and the rejuvenation of the well-being of all citizens.

“I wish all Muslim faithful a happy Eid-el-Maulud celebration.”
