Mohammed Yakubu, an 18-year-old 200-level Political Science student at Al-Qalam University in Katsina, has indeed organized a seven-day prayer session for President Bola Tinubu to retain Vice President Kashim Shettima as his running mate in the 2027 elections. The prayer session, which ended on Friday, was held at Maranta Sheikh Abba Abu, Kofar Kwaya, Katsina, and featured mostly young clerics.
Yakubu’s decision to hold the prayer session stems from his admiration for Shettima’s leadership style and contributions to youth and farmers. He believes Shettima’s approach to building and supporting these groups is commendable and worthy of recognition. The student’s initiative goes beyond just showing appreciation for Shettima; he also urges young people to engage in praying for their leaders instead of criticizing them.
