Senate President Ahmad Lawan has departed Abuja for Saudi Arabia to join millions of Muslim faithful from around the world who are gathered in the Holy Land for this year’s Hajj.
A statement by the Special Adviser on Media to the Senate President, Ola Awoniyi, on Monday, said Lawan, while in the Holy Land, would seize the opportunity to pray for the peace, unity and progress of Nigeria.
The statement said Lawan would also pray for the success of the ninth National Assembly which is now on annual recess.
Lawan is expected back home as soon as the Hajj rites are over.
