Tinubu's prayers for Nigeria
The president described the pilgrimage as both a deeply personal and a national moment, saying he used the time in Saudi Arabia to offer supplications on behalf of Nigeria and its citizens.
"This is a deeply spiritual moment for me, and an opportunity to offer prayers for our beloved country, Nigeria, and all our people," Tinubu said.
He prayed for divine acceptance of those prayers, asking that Allah grant Nigeria lasting peace, strengthen the country's unity, protect its people, and bless efforts to build a more prosperous nation.
The president also asked for wisdom and strength in the service of Nigeria, and for the acceptance of his worship during the pilgrimage.
"May Almighty Allah accept our prayers and supplications, grant our nation lasting peace, strengthen our unity, protect our people, and bless our collective efforts to build a more prosperous Nigeria," he said. "May He grant us wisdom and strength in the service of our nation and accept our Ibadah."
Umrah, also known as the lesser Hajj, is a voluntary Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca that can be undertaken at any time of the year, unlike the major Hajj, which follows a fixed date in the Islamic calendar.
