he 2019 deputy governorship candidate of African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Oyo State, Alhaji Saheed Alaran, yesterday organised special prayer for the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Kayode Ariwoola, at Iseyin.

The focus of the prayer, attended by the Chief Imam of Iseyin Local Government, Alhaji Akeem Olajori, members of Iseyin League of Imam and Alfas, was for God’s guidance and protection over the CJN.

Prayer points were also centred on prominent sons and daughters of Iseyin community, including Mr. Raji Ahmed, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN, who Alaran described as a strong pillar for the development of Oyo State, Oke-Ogun and Iseyin.

Others that were prayed for included the Nigerian envoy to Ukraine, Amb. Shina Alege, Jelili Owonikoko (SAN), and Bimbo Atilola, among others.

Alaran, the former chairman of Iseyin Local Government, said the prayer was important, as the CJN had a national calling to rebuild the judicial system.

Olajori cautioned those he said were out to play politics with the future of Nigeria by attacking the CJN to desist, “otherwise they will attract the wrath of Allah.”

The Ikolaba of Iseyinland, High Chief Ismahil Tikalosoro, said the focus of the prayer was not only on the CJN, Raji and other sons and daughters of Iseyin, who had made national marks, but also for a prosperous Iseyin.
