President Bola Tinubu on Friday joined Muslim faithful to observe Jumat prayers at the Lekki Central Mosque in Lagos.

Delivering his sermon, the visiting Imam of the mosque, Dr Salahudeen Munirudeen Arriyadhi, lauded President Tinubu for the numerous developmental projects being executed by the administration, urging him to remain steadfast despite the challenges and some criticisms.

“You cannot satisfy everyone at the same time,” he said.

Quoting from the Qur’an, Dr Arriyadhi told the President that Allah is pleased with leaders who listen to the cries of their followers but displeased with leaders who do not attend to the needs of the governed.

“We are praying for you, and you will succeed,” he said.

In the sermon titled ‘Unity in Diversity’ and ‘Remembering the Day of Judgement’, Dr Arriyadhi said human diversity in colour, tribe, religion, language and nation was not accidental but ordained and desired by Allah.

He added that diversity should not be a threat but a source of harmony, and a foundation for unity and learning.

“Diversity is a sign of Allah’s wisdom. If Allah had wanted all of His creation to be one, He would have created

them as one. Diversity in religion and tribe should not be a source of problems,” the Imam said.
