President Tinubu, others Observe Special Jumat to mark Nigeria’s 64th Independence

President Bola Tinubu on Friday joined fellow Muslim faithful for a special Jumat prayer at the National Mosque in Abuja.

This gesture was part of the activities marking the country’s 64th Independence Anniversary.

According to a video shared by Dada Olusegun, Special Assistant to the President on Social Media, President Tinubu participated in the prayer session alongside other Muslim faithful. The video footage showed the President being escorted to his seat for the prayer session.

This is not the first time President Tinubu has publicly observed Islamic prayers. Previously, in June, he joined Muslim faithful for Eid Kabir prayers at the Dodan Barracks in Ikoyi, Lagos, where he was accompanied by top government functionaries.
