President Bola Tinubu has received a pledge of continued support for his administration from members of the Nigerian delegation accompanying him on his visit to Makkah, Saudi Arabia.

The commitment was made during a dinner hosted by the President for members of the delegation on Sunday evening, November 1.

Those present included state governors led by the Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF), AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq of Kwara State, as well as business leaders led by the Chairman of BUA Group, Abdul Samad Rabiu.

The delegation also included the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Lateef Fagbemi, and the Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Muhammad Ali Pate.

Members of the delegation pledged to continue supporting the Tinubu administration in their respective capacities, expressing their commitment to Nigeria’s growth and prosperity.

President Tinubu and other participants also emphasised the importance of praying for Nigeria’s progress, peace and stability.

The dinner came during the President’s visit to Saudi Arabia to perform Umrah, the lesser Islamic pilgrimage.

Tinubu performed the religious rites at the Grand Mosque, Masjid al-Haram, in Makkah, on Friday, October 30.

Following the exercise, the President said he had prayed for sustainable peace, national unity, harmony and stability, while seeking divine guidance for the country’s leaders.

The Presidency had earlier announced that the visit would provide an opportunity for spiritual reflection and prayers for Nigeria’s peace, unity and continued progress.

Tinubu is expected to return to Nigeria next week after completing his spiritual engagements in Saudi Arabia.
