First elected female deputy governor in Nigeria, Alhaja Sinatu Ojikutu, has declared October 23, 2025, her 80th birthday, as a day to pray and fast to tackle the challenges rocking Nigeria and the world.
She said the day should be observed as a day of sobriety, thereby calling for supplication for survival and sustenance worldwide.
Ojikutu also said it is a day to show love to the deprived and the underprivileged.
In a statement signed to commemorate her 80th birthday anniversary, Ojikutu said the revelation is becoming very strong now. She added that there’s a need to fast and pray on that day to reduce the hardships occasioned by the economic meltdown worldwide.
DON'T MISS
According to her, acute hardship is biting harder, and there is a need to seek the face of God to ameliorate the suffering. To grant those in leadership worldwide wisdom, knowledge, and understanding of selfless, non-egoistic actions and the masses’ discernment, not a clueless support spirit.
The former deputy governor of Lagos state plans to head to Mecca, Saudi Arabia, to offer prayers for her birthday and seek the face of Allah to have mercy. She urged all God-fearing and God-loving people in the universe to fast and pray to avert the looming disaster.
Given what’s happening around the country, Ojikutu advised that fasting to commemorate her birthday on Thursday would be very good. She added that all gifts should be converted to support the deprived and the less privileged in society, and share pictures of such kind gestures with her as a gift.
“The wave of suffering across the globe, according to the revelation God gave me, would bite harder in the days ahead unless we fast and pray to avert this ugly trend coming down upon us,” she added.
