The League of Imams and Alfas in Yorubaland, Edo and Delta states (THE RABITA) has congratulated the president-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on his victory at the polls, promising to stand by him through thick, thins and bends, while urging him to work towards liberating Nigerians from poverty.
The Imams, in a congratulatory message jointly signed by Sheikh Habeebullah Adam Abdullah Al-Ilori and Sheikh (Dr.) Ahmad Aladesawe, said Tinubu’s victory was a confirmation of the truism that only Allah ordains kings and presidents, saying: “No matter the plots and scheming, Allah decides to give power to whom He wills.
“We see your success at the polls as the triumph of light over darkness and a blessing from Allah (SWT) in spite of plots, threats, blackmail and outright attempts at demonisation of your Excellency’s personality.
Besides, it urged Tinubu and the vice president-elect, Kashim Shettima, to showcase the beauty of Islam in all their actions, saying: “We shall stand by you through thick, thins and bends as you move on to glory.”
