The World Tijaniyyah Movement, Oyo State Chapter, has expressed its support for the governorship ambition of Chief Jubril Dotun Sanusi, Chairman/CEO of Ilaji Sports and Resorts.
The group, led by its National Coordinator, Sheikh Muhammad Yeskuru, visited Chief Sanusi at the Ilaji Resort Central Mosque where they conducted a special prayer session for his success in the 2027 governorship race in Oyo State.
The group read a letter announcing the World Tijaniyyah Niyas Group 2024 Annual Moulid Nabiyy celebration scheduled to hold in Senegal on 16 September.
The group sought Chief Sanusi’s assistance in transporting its members to the event. Chief Sanusi graciously pledged his support for their journey.
The World Tijaniyyah Movement also seized the opportunity of the visit to distance itself from a malicious publication circulated a few months ago that questioned the faith of Chief Jubril Dotun Sanusi.
The group made it clear that it had no association with the false claims and warned politicians against using their name for cheap popularity.
Members of the World Tijaniyyah Movement also reaffirmed their trust in the commitment of Chief Sanusi commitment to his faith and leadership.
The group acknowledged the significance of the Ilaji Resort Central Mosque, which was commissioned by the Grand Imam of Oyo State, Sheikh AbdulGaniyy Abubakry Agbotomokekere, in 2020.
The Grand Imam had then led the inaugural prayer session at the mosque, marking a new chapter for the Muslim Ummah in the region.
Since 2022, Asalatu prayers have been held regularly at the mosque, attracting worshippers from far and near, solidifying the mosque’s status as a central place of worship.
Chief Sanusi, in his response, expressed his heartfelt appreciation for the prayers and unwavering support from the World Tijaniyyah Movement.
He emphasised the importance of unity and the power of collective prayers in achieving success, noting that the backing of such a respected religious group was both encouraging and humbling.
The visit by members of the World Tijaniyyah Movement and their prayers have further solidified Chief Sanusi’s position as a prominent figure in Oyo State.
It was an attestation to his popularity as a political figure with widespread backing from influential religious groups as he sets his sights on the 2027 governorship election.
