The
Oba of Lagos Oba Akiolu 1 has said that God will not allow any other
party apart from All Progressives Congress (APC) to take over the State
in the forthcoming general election in 2019.
He made this remark
yesterday in Lagos at the 11th Annual Hijrah Lecture and Commissioning
of the new House of Assembly Mosque. He said the new Mosque was unique
especially as it was built inside the Assembly complex where Bills are
passed into law. Oba Akioly also argued that it was not enough to build
Mosque but that the custodians of the Mosque should be properly taken
care of.
He also advised the custodians not to be involved in
anything that would tarnish image of the religion. Speaker of Lagos
State of Assembly Mr. Mudashiru Obasa commended the congregation for
donating fund for the rebuilding of the Mosque. He described a Mosque as
a Holy place to Worship Allah and supplicate to Him, adding that the
custodians should do everything to ensure that it serves purpose for
which it was built.
Governor Ambode was represented by the
Commissioner for Home Affairs, Dr. AbdulHakeem Abdulateef who is the
Chief Imam of the House of Assembly Mosque. In his speech, the Chairman
of the Muslim Community of the Assembly, Mr. Sikiru Osinowo thanked God
Almighty for the completion of the mosque.
“We started the
mosque project so that we could fulfil the purpose of our coming here.
We have been Muslim Speakers, and God made it possible for us to build
the new mosque during the time of the current Speaker, Rt. Hon.
Mudashiru Obasa,” he said.
