According to Mr Obasa, all those expected to partake in the Tawaf have the faith that Allah would ensure a peaceful electioneering and victory for Mr Tinubu.
“We have come to seek the favour of Allah and His blessings for Asiwaju in the coming election,” Mr Obasa said. “We are not testing Allah’s will and power but soliciting 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,” Mr Obasa said while urging other Muslims and well-meaning Nigerians to join the session.
