\"Tinubu<\/p>\n

President Bola Tinubu has reaffirmed his commitment to Project Nigeria, pledging to build a prosperous nation, invest in youths and pursue development guided by Almighty Allah and Nigerians\u2019 aspirations.<\/p>\n

The president stated this on Monday while reflecting on his spiritual journey to Saudi Arabia for the lesser Hajj, during which he was granted the rare privilege of praying inside the Holy Ka\u2019abah.<\/p>\n

King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, granted the President and members of his delegation access to the sacred structure in Makkah.<\/p>\n

At the Ka\u2019abah, Tinubu offered prayers of gratitude to Almighty Allah for the privilege of serving as Nigeria\u2019s president and commander-in-chief of the armed forces.<\/p>\n

Sheikh Dahlulah Muthawal of Masjid al-Haram led the President into the Ka\u2019abah.<\/p>\n

Tinubu thanked King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman for granting him and members of his delegation the opportunity to enter the Holy Ka\u2019abah and offer prayers.<\/p>\n

He described the honour as historic and a deeply cherished spiritual experience, reflecting the longstanding bonds of friendship, mutual respect and cooperation between Nigeria and Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to say a big thank you for the faith, for the recognition. I can\u2019t believe the fencing of the Ka\u2019abah is in green-white-green, which reminds us of the Nigerian identity.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thank the Crown Prince and all the administrators of the Holy Land. I thank them for the hospitality and recognition given to me as the leader of the delegation and the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are all facing challenges and hostility around us. We will overcome them with faith in God Almighty. I\u2019m grateful forever. I thank the King and the royal Crown Prince.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is an honour that I enjoyed, and it is gracious of them to have allowed me to enter inside the Ka\u2019abah. This is history,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The president said he prayed for wisdom and resilience to continue serving Nigerians, expressing confidence that Almighty Allah had granted his request.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, I asked for wisdom and resilience to continue to serve the people. I know that prayer has been granted. Before the 2023 election, I did the same thing.<\/p>\n

\u201cI asked Allah to bless my Umrah then, and He did. And I promised that I would come back to thank Him,\u201d the President said.<\/p>\n

Reflecting on Surah Aal-Imran, Verse 26 of the Holy Qur\u2019an, the President said sovereignty belonged ultimately to Almighty Allah, who grants and withdraws power.<\/p>\n

He said the message underscored the need for leaders to exercise authority responsibly, with humility and in the service of the people.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no other God but Almighty Allah. He is the giver and the taker. He owns power and authority.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe says, \u2018If I give you, use it well. If you don\u2019t use it in accordance with my dictates, I can take it from you and give it to another person. I am the only one who has that authority.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tinubu said his faith had strengthened his conviction that becoming Nigeria\u2019s leader was an extraordinary blessing that must be matched with dedicated service.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have faith in that, and I believe extremely well that He has done me and my country a great favour.<\/p>\n

\u201dOut of many millions of people, to be the President and Commander-in-Chief is a favour that only Almighty God can do to a human being,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

The president said his commitment to Project Nigeria had become stronger, assuring Nigerians of his determination to pursue policies that would promote prosperity and shared progress.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy commitment to Project Nigeria is higher. I am determined to usher in prosperity and fully develop the country, consistent with the wish of Allah and the support of the people.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is important to put Allah first, then move on. Follow your conscience. Follow the right path that will lead Nigeria to that greatness,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

On the economy, Tinubu expressed optimism about the progress recorded under his administration.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe foundation is solid, and the economy has come out of the dark tunnel. This is inspiring,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He said nation-building required sustained investment in young Nigerians, stressing that present leadership decisions would shape how future generations remembered them.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to build a future for our youth. If we don\u2019t invest in their future, how do we want to be remembered as leaders 50 years from now? That\u2019s the main thing. So this is a rare privilege to lead the country,\u201d the president added.<\/p>\n

Tinubu reiterated his administration\u2019s commitment to strengthening the economy, expanding opportunities for young people and creating conditions for Nigerians to realise their potential.<\/p>\n

He thanked Almighty Allah for the opportunity to lead Nigeria, pledging to justify the confidence reposed in him through purposeful leadership and sustained commitment to national progress. (NAN)<\/p>\n
