ZAMFARA State government has recruited 1,767 Islamic clerics to pray
for the quick recovery of President Umaru Yar’Adua.

The state will spend about N17.6 million on the prayers as each of the
cleric will go home with N10,000 for the service rendered.

Represented by the state Commissioner for Religious Affairs, Sheik Tukur Sani Jangebe,
the governor remarked that the prayer session was necessary in view of
the present situation the country was passing through.

According to the governor, the health of the president was very important for the
survival of the country and, as such, he needed the prayers of Nigerians instead
of playing politics with his health.

The governor also directed the Islamic clerics to pray for the victims of the recent Jos mayhem.

Governor Shinkafi advised Muslim Ummah (community) to make good use of the
Islamic teachings that said Muslims should promote the culture of peaceful co-existence.
