The Defense Minister humbly requests the prayers of Nigerians for our success
The Minister of Defence, Alhaji Mohammed Badaru, appealed to Nigerians to persist in their prayers for a resolution to the nation's security challenges. This plea was made on Thursday in Abuja during his reception of a delegation from Jigawa, led by the state Governor, Malam Umar Namadi, as reported by the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).
He noted that given the intricacies of the security challenges and various facets of national development, it becomes imperative to seek prayers for success.
Nonetheless, the defense minister emphasized their unwavering determination to overcome the substantial challenges ahead of them. Badaru consequently appealed for the backing of all Nigerians, including their prayers, in the pursuit of establishing lasting peace and stability in the nation.
In an earlier statement, the Governor of Jigawa, accompanied by traditional leaders, religious figures, business leaders, and public officials from the state, conveyed their congratulations to the minister and assured him of their continuous support.
"It's not just about conveying congratulations; it's also about extending our prayers to you. We've witnessed your successful tenure as our state governor, and we fervently pray that you attain the same level of success, if not more, in your new role as the Minister of Defence."
Namadi underscored the heightened expectations of Nigerians, emphasizing that they anticipate the minister's prioritization and effective handling of the country's security challenges. He stated, "Once you can achieve this, it will positively impact every facet of our nation."
"We are fortunate to enjoy peace in Jigawa, but that doesn't mean we don't require your support. We, too, seek your assistance as you extend aid to other states," Namadi further emphasized.
