He said that prices of goods and services had gone higher, urging urgent measures to reduce hardship on the citizens.
The cleric urged the three tiers of government to provide more foods and employment opportunities for Nigerians.
He, however, urged Nigerians to go closer to God and be patient with the Federal Government in its efforts to tackle the country’s many problems.
“We should be patient and pray to Allah to guide our leaders.
” In our various homes, we should try and obey the laws of Allah. Once we do that, Allah will not let us down, just as Allah did not let Prophet Ibrahim down,” he said.
Mr Rasheed Akindiya, a Lagos resident, who worshipped at the Mosque, urged governments to come up more initiatives to reduce economic hardship on the citizens.
“Governments should create more jobs and a more favourable business environment,” Akindiya said.
A Muslim scholar, Ustaz Habib Tinuolaji, said, “We should see any situation as from Allah – good or bad.”
He urged Muslims to promogate their faith with steadfastness.
Another Lagos resident, Hajia Nimat Agoro, also urged Nigerians to be patient with the current administration.
She urged Nigerians to continue to be patriotic.
A U.S.-based Nigerian, Hajia Rasheedah Sadiq, called on Muslims to use the opportunity of the celebration to show love and preach peace and unity.
