President Bola Tinubu has expressed a sense of fulfilment after completing the lesser Hajj, known as Umrah, in Mecca, Saudi Arabia.
The President spoke shortly after performing the Islamic religious rites, describing the exercise as a spiritual experience that also provided an opportunity to pray for Nigeria.
Tinubu expressed gratitude to Allah for the opportunity to undertake the pilgrimage, noting that the exercise held significance for both him and the country.
“It’s a spiritual thing for me and the country, Nigeria. I’m grateful to Allah for this opportunity,” the President said.
Umrah is a form of Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca that can be performed at any time of the year, unlike the annual Hajj, which takes place during a specific period in the Islamic calendar.
