STATEHOUSE PRESS RELEASE

PRESIDENT TINUBU PROMISES NIGERIANS MORE HARD WORK FOR THE PEACE AND STABILITY OF THE NATION



President Bola Tinubu said Friday in Abuja that he will continue to work hard and pray for the peace and stability of the nation.



In an interview with reporters after the special Juma'ah prayer session for the nation and commemoration of his birthday at the National Mosque, the President thanked God for the grace of seeing his 73rd birthday.



The President will turn 73rd on March 29th, 2025.



President Tinubu said the safety and welfare of citizens remain uppermost on his mind and prayer list.



"I feel good. I feel happy. I thank the Almighty Allah, who has protected us and continues to answer our prayers.



"We also thank Allah for accepting our worship; that is key and very important to us.



"We have prayed for our country. We prayed for the stability and peace of the nation. We prayed that Almighty Allah will safeguard our people and all citizens,' the President added.



President Tinubu said his watchword remains "hard work and hard prayers.''





"The word for all of us is hard work. You work harder, and you pray harder. That's the inspiration I got from today's sermon.



"We thank God almighty that at this stage, we are still in it and working,'' he added.



Dr. Abdulkadir Salman Solagberu (the Malami Ubandoma of Ilorin Emirate) and other clerics led the special prayers for the nation and the president.



Dr Solaberu assured President Tinubu of continual prayers for his good health, strength and wisdom to steer the nation's affairs.



The renowned Islamic cleric and scholar noted that prayers for the nation's peace and stability would herald the citizens' development and well-being.



The Imam of the National Mosque, Prof. Muhammad Kabir Adam, thanked the President and his wife, Sen. Oluremi Tinubu, for catering to the poor and needy during Ramadan.



Prof. Adam urged Muslims to continue their prayers for the President, the nation, and goodwill toward the poor after Ramadan.



"Mr. President, Allah is with you, and you will succeed,'' he added.



The Jumat was attended by the Vice President, Sen. Kashim Shettima, the Deputy Senate President, Sen. Barau Jibrin, the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, ministers, Service Chiefs, and some members of the President's family.

The *streets surrounding the Jenin refugee camp in the territory's north were empty* on Monday, an AFP journalist reported, as *three Israeli tanks stationed at higher vantage points* overlooked the area.

*Displaced camp residents occasionally entered through a back alley* to retrieve belongings from their homes.

*In a weeks-long military operation in the north of the territory,* launched around the time a truce took hold in the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza, *Israeli forces looking for militants have cleared three refugee camps* and deployed tanks in Jenin.

*Israeli leaders have repeatedly pledged to annex at least parts of the West Bank*, occupied since 1967, but any such proposal has been *met with strong opposition from Palestinians and much of the international community.*

"This is a noble prophetic hadith, which means that whoever imitates a people in their customs, traditions, and behaviors, is considered one of them and subject to their judgment. The intended meaning of this hadith is to alert us to the importance of preserving our Islamic identity and belonging to the Islamic community, and to avoid being influenced by cultures and teachings that contradict Islamic values."

The interior is marvelously and serenely designed, reflecting its purpose as a masjid, a place of worship, commemoration, and religious celebration. In Jafari theology, a prayer space serves not only as a site for daily worship but also as a venue for various religious occasions, which are considered integral to the practice of faith.

The niche (Mihrab) is crafted in a minimalist style, yet its intricate design compensates for the absence of calligraphy. The floral patterns on the wall, a common decorative element in Islamic architecture, particularly in mosques, are beautifully rendered. These patterns are often referred to as girih or arabesque.

The domed roof features floral patterns similar to those on the walls, with an ornate chandelier hanging at its center, adorned with numerous golden-colored candle-like elements. One edge of the dome showcases a classicist design, while another displays a Moorish-inspired style in pure white, gold, and silver tones.
