Tinubu mourns famous Islamic preacher, Sheikh Argungu

President Bola Tinubu sent his condolences and sympathy to the family, followers, and associates of the prominent Islamic preacher, Sheikh Abubakar Giro Argungu, who passed away on Wednesday.

The president, in a statement on Thursday by his spokesman, Ajuri Ngelale, described the death of the religious leader as a loss which reverberated beyond the late preacher’s immediate community, and as one that affected the entire country, in view of his contributions to the canon of Islamic study and his renowned calls for moral rectitude.

“The voice of Sheikh Giro Argungu will long be remembered for his years of Islamic propagation and advocacy for righteousness. The activities of the cleric through the Islamic group, JIBWIS, where he had served as the Working Committee Chairman, has contributed immensely in guiding a large flock of Muslim youths over the years,” he said.

The president further condoled with the family, the government and people of Kebbi State, and the Nigerian Muslim community, over this huge loss and prayed for the eternal rest of the soul of the departed cleric.
