Vice President Kashim Shettima on Sunday joined governors, ministers, traditional rulers and other senior government officials at the National Mosque in Abuja for the annual special prayer session held in honour of the late Chief Abibatu Mogaji, mother of President Bola Tinubu.
According to a statement issued by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Communication in the Office of the Vice President, Stanley Nkwocha, the event brought together political leaders and religious figures to offer prayers for the repose of Mogaji’s soul.
The annual gathering has become a recurring event attended by government officials, community leaders and Islamic scholars in remembrance of the late businesswoman and political figure.
Among those listed as attending alongside the Vice President were Borno State Governor Babagana Umara Zulum and Yobe State Governor Mai Mala Buni.
Also present were the Minister of Housing and Urban Development, Muttaqa Rabe Darma; the Minister of Budget and Economic Planning, Senator Atiku Bagudu; and the Special Adviser to the President on Political Matters, Ibrahim Masari.
The statement further noted the attendance of other public office holders, including state officials, traditional rulers and senior government representatives.
The prayer session was organised to honour the legacy of Chief Abibatu Mogaji, who was recognised for her influence in business, community leadership and political circles beyond Lagos State.
Events of this nature remain a longstanding tradition in Nigeria’s public and religious life, often serving as occasions for reflection, remembrance and communal prayers.
