The Imams took turns to offer prayers after reciting the verses of the Holy Quran, followed by the Governor, who also recited verses of the Holy Quran with attributes to the Divine Names of the Almighty Allah.

Bagudu fervently prayed for abundant rainfall, bumper harvests, as well as sustainable peace, unity and tranquillity in the state.

He equally beseeched the Almighty God to protect the abducted school children and staff of FGC Birnin Yauri and all the abductees across the country.

''Oh Allah, you are the Most Powerful, the Supreme God of the heavens and the earth, we pray that you do away with all forms of calamity bedevilling our state and country.

''Allah give us abundant rainfall , bumper harvests and save our abducted children,"he prayed.

At the end of the all-important prayer session, Imam Ahmad Rufai Wala, appreciated his presence in the prayer session, saying that, it has been the tradition of the Emirate to seek for Divine intervention from God in the period of adversities .
