Pres. Buhari will henceforth attend Jumaat service only at the
Presidential villa mosque. According to a statement released by his
media aide, Femi Adesina, yesterday President Buhari decided to say his
prayers only at the presidential mosque and not at the Central mosque
Abuja so as to avoid the hardship Abuja residents face whenever he needs
to drive to the Central Mosque for prayers
"President Muhammadu Buhari participated in today’s Juma’at prayer at
the Presidential Villa Mosque. President Buhari did so 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, the President has decided that
henceforth he will mostly observe the Juma’at prayers with other Muslims
at the Presidential Villa Mosque. President Buhari will still join the
larger Muslim Community for Friday prayers at the National Mosque and
other mosques in Abuja occasionally" the statement in part read.
