Hundreds of people in Karaye local government area of Kano state organized a special prayer session today, Monday, to seek Allah’s intervention in the hardships and challenges bedeviling the country.
Imams, Qur’anic and Islamic school teachers, as well as students from different communities in the Karaye local government, attended the session.
Kano Times reports that the clerics recited the Holy Qur’an with the intention of seeking Allah’s mercy to end the various hardships and security challenges facing the country.
Speaking after the prayers, Malam Mustapha Sani Mudi thanked the Karaye people for organizing the prayer. He said that the prayers were timely, considering the series of hardships and security challenges facing the country.
He urged the people to organize similar prayers in their domains.
It is recalled that since President Tinubu announced the removal of subsidy on petrol on 29 May during his inauguration, this has caused hardship for many Nigerians due to the attendant increase in the prices of goods and services.
Although the federal government has announced a series of palliatives to mitigate the impact of petroleum subsidy removal and similar shocks on the people, many Nigerians are still reeling from the devastating impact as prices of petrol, foodstuffs, and other essential commodities continue to rise.
