President Muhammadu Buhari participated in Friday’s Juma’at prayer at the Presidential Villa Mosque.
Subsequently, he decided that henceforth, he will mostly observe the Juma’at prayers with other Muslims at the Presidential Villa Mosque.
The President took the decision out of consideration for avoidable hardships imposed on members of the public by road closures and other security measures which Presidential movements to the National Mosque necessitate.
Accordingly, said Mr Femi Adesina, Media Adviser to the President in a statement in Abuja on Friday, “Buhari has decided that henceforth, he will mostly observe the Juma’at prayers with other Muslims at the Presidential Villa Mosque.
“The President will still join the larger Muslim Community for Friday prayers at the National Mosque and other mosques in Abuja occasionally.”
