It has been stressed that no mortal can embark and achieve anything on earth except it has been ordained by God.
This statement by Alhaji Mohammed Sikirullah Sanni, the President General of Ijesa Muslim Council, during the grand finale of the three-day special intercessory prayer organised to assist and stabilise the administration of Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola of Osun State in the onerous duty entrusted to him, was held at the Government House, Okefia, Osogbo.
Sanni, who was thanking God for His grace over members of the Council, also appreciated the Almighty for sparing the lives of every member of the council.
He stated that the reason the three-day prayers was because Nigeria and Osun State in particular needed it.
In his words: “The governor is a man of prayer and he is known to both engage in personal and collective prayers.”
The President General also noted that the council had always sought for the progress of Ogbeni Aregbesola, adding that the governor was an Ijesa man and equally a Muslim.
Sanni said: “The three-day prayer programme, which is coming to an end today, was also held in all the six local government council areas, which make up Ijesaland.”
He revealed that the second term of Aregbesola’s administration was for continual breakthrough and with prayers said on his behalf, the results would start to trickle in.
In his response, Aregbesola said he had made a covenant with God to always observe prayers in a mosque whenever he was outside Nigeria.
He thanked the Ijesa Muslim Council for their time and the prayers on his behalf.
