Prayers have been offered for the speedy and complete recovery of former Head of State, Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar (rtd.), and Sen. Mohammed Sani Musa following reports of their health challenges.

In a statement issued on Saturday, Bello Mohammed, Media Aide to Alhaji Dan’asabe Abubakar (Wakilin Minna), called on Nigerians to offer prayers and goodwill for the two leaders and others battling illnesses.

The statement noted that Gen. Abdulsalami, who recently underwent surgery on his leg, deserved collective prayers and support for a smooth and successful recovery.

It described the former Head of State as a respected elder statesman whose contributions to national leadership, stability and Nigeria’s democratic transition had earned him a distinguished place in the country’s political history.

“We raise our hands in supplication to Almighty Allah, the Ultimate Healer, to grant him renewed strength, enduring vitality, and a smooth, uncomplicated recovery,” the statement said.

The group also prayed for Sen. Mohammed Sani Musa, popularly known as 313, and other individuals currently receiving medical treatment or recovering from surgical procedures.

“Ya Allah, grant them Shifaa’an La Yughaadiru Saqamaa — a healing that leaves no trace of sickness. Strengthen their bodies, calm their hearts, comfort their families, and bless the hands of the medical professionals entrusted with their care,” the statement added.

According to the group, periods of ill health serve as a reminder that, beyond political affiliations, social status and other differences, all human beings are dependent on divine mercy.

It also extended its prayers to Nigerians receiving treatment in hospitals and those recovering at home, calling for greater compassion, solidarity and support for people facing health challenges.

The group urged Nigerians to remember the sick in their prayers and demonstrate kindness towards individuals and families going through difficult moments.
