AbdulRazaq family to hold virtual prayers session for late patriarch
The family of AGF AbdulRazaq, Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq’s father, will hold Islamic prayers for their patriarch today.
According to a statement signed by his eldest son, Dr Alimi AbdulRazaq, the family has decided that the prayer will hold through Zoom to keep the rule of social distancing made to facilitate the fight against coronavirus pandemic.
The governor’s father, who is the first lawyer in Northern Nigeria, died on July 25 at the age of 93.
The children of the late AGF, a few Muslim scholars and officials are expected to observe the post-funeral prayers.
The statement added that the Emir of Ilorin, Dr Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari, will coordinate the session.
“While the family continues to appreciate the deluge of greetings, prayers, and show of goodwill from across Kwara State and Nigeria, it urges members of the public who wish to take part in the prayer for our father to kindly (in the name of Allah) join at 11 a.m. via a live broadcast on Radio Kwara 99.1 FM or through a live broadcast on the Nigeria Television Authority (Channel 419 on DSTV and Channel 91 on GoTV) or Television Continental (Channel 418 on DSTV and Channel 45 on GoTV),” the statement said.
