Chieftain of New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) in Ogun State, Ambassador Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo, has asked Nigerians to submit to people God Almighty placed in leadership positions.
Oguntoyinbo, who is also the Chairman/Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Bullion Records, advised Nigerians to submit themselves “to those God has shown mercy, so as to pave the way” for themselves too.
He stated these in a statement on Monday, March 10, to herald the third series of Ramadan Lectures that one of his firms organizes annually.
The 2025 edition is to be delivered by Fodhilat Sheikh Abdul Basit Olanrewaju Katibi Bello, popularly known as Aponle Anobi.
The lecture is billed to come up next Monday, March 17, at Torotoro Quarters, Ibafo, Ogun State between 2:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m.
It’s theme is: ‘Submit Yourself to whom God Has Shown Mercy’.
Oguntoyinbo said the lecture “will also feature musicians and social personalities like Tope Indomie, Alaafin Alujo, MC Odada; MC Baba Labule, Ijoba Oro, Alhaji Saoty Arewa and Alhaja Azeezat Otibiya Reign.”
According to him, the essence of the lecture was to give Muslims and Nigerians more understanding of Prophet Mohammed’s (SAW) words and teachings “which basically revolve round peace, love and unity.”
He said the month of Ramadan was a blessed month “in which Allah forgives all sins,” urging Nigerians to stay away from anything that could jeopardise the teachings of Prophet Mohammed in terms of love, unity and peaceful coexistence.”
Oguntoyinbo added: “The essence of our Ramadan Lecture is to consistently inculcate the teachings of Prophet Mohammed into our people, which basically revolve round peace, love and unity.
“This year’s theme, which is third in the series, is ‘Submit Yourself to whom God Has Shown Mercy’.
“If Nigerians can learn to accept what God has ordained, there won’t be any reason for violence, crime and other clandestine activities.
“We are using this holy period of Ramadan and Lent to tell Nigerians that we are all serving same God and we should be able to tolerate each other through love and unity, resulting into peaceful coexistence.”
