President Bola Tinubu on Friday, commissioned the National Assembly Central Mosque urging the Muslim Faithful to exhibit humility in their daily living.
Tinubu who was represented by Vice-President Kashim Shettima while noting the vanity of life, called on the Ummah to “walk the earth with humility.
He said,
“Fifty years from now, half of the Assembly members will not be around and very few people will know that we existed. So we should work the earth with humility.
“As much as possible, let us strive to be humble and as much as possible let us strive to be kind to each other.
“Power, wealth are gift from Allah to humanity. May Allah make our contributions toward the construction of this mosque a blessing.
“Even if we are gone, reward from the construction of this mosque will follow us”.
He felicitated with the Muslim Ummah in the National Assembly for contributing resources in building the edifice.
The president recognised the crucial role played by the President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila in the construction of the mosque.
“I recognise their contributions without whose consent not a single erection plan would have been effected for the construction of the mosque,” he added.
Similarly, the Sultan of Sokoto and President, Nigeria Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs, Sa’ad Abubakar III, felicitated with the Muslims on the realisation of the construction of the mosque.
The Sultan who was represented by the Emir of Kano, Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero thanked the leaders, the senators and members of the house of representatives for the contributions made to the success of the edifice.
