As Nigeria’s political terrain becomes more complex and dicier with permutations becoming riskier to predict, the APC presidential hopeful and National Leader of the party, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s supporters have concluded plans of a Special Tawaf be held tomorrow (Thursday), as the needed magic wand for his emergence as the party’s flag bearer in 2023.
Mr. Eromosele Ebhomele, Special Adviser to the Lagos State House of Assembly Speaker, quoted his boss, Hon. Mudashiru Obasa, as saying that the ‘Special Tawaf for Asiwaju’ will commence by 12 noon.
The session, he added will be conducted around Kaabah at the centre of Islam’s most important mosque, the Masjid al-Haram in Mecca, Saudi Arabia.
Obasa, said: “Participants are to wear the ihram attire and congregate at the King Abdulaziz Gate.
“The Tawaf is expected to be attended by some Islamic scholars and political leaders from Nigeria, including the Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Hon. Mudashiru Obasa, who said the event was also to thank Allah for the former governor of Lagos ahead of the presidential election”.
According to Obasa, all those expected to partake in the Tawaf have the faith that Allah would ensure a peaceful electioneering and victory for Tinubu.
“We have come to seek the favour of Allah and His blessings for Asiwaju in the coming election. We are not testing Allah’s will and power but soliciting for His blessings, support and anointing because Allah is sufficient for us.
“We are doing this in support of Asiwaju’s presidential ambition.
“Having consulted widely and across the country, we strongly believe that every other thing required for the success of the election and victory for Asiwaju are in the hand of Almighty Allah,” the Speaker said while urging other Muslims and well-meaning Nigerians to join the session.” Obasa said.
