The President, who had previously performed the lesser Hajj, known as Umrah, in the holy city of Makkah, spoke with newsmen after completing the spiritual exercise. Tinubu's prayers were significant, not only for himself but also for the well-being of the country and its children, as he believed in the love of Nigerians and his commitment to his responsibilities and faith in Allah.\n\nTinubu emphasized that his prayers for peace, unity, and happiness had given him a sense of spiritual fulfillment, stating, \"I feel good, I feel fulfilled, gives me a sense of spiritual thing for me, and the country, and the children.\" This spiritual experience was particularly meaningful for the President, given his previous visit to Saudi Arabia before the 2023 presidential election.\n\nIn a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, the President prayed for Nigeria to experience sustainable peace, national unity, stability, and relief from insecurity and other challenges faced by the nation.
