Addressing the congregation on behalf of the state governor Dapo Abiodun, after the Jumat, the deputy governor, Noimot Salako-Oyedele, thanked Muslims for their support in prayers since 2019 till date, encouraging them not to relent but continue to support the Abiodun-led government.

“The state governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun do not take your prayers and support for granted. Your prayers were what have been keeping this administration going. So I want to appeal to you to accept this gift wholeheartedly,” she said.

The deputy governor urged the congregants to shun all immoral acts that can hinder their prayers.
