Following the symbolic stoning of the devil at Mina, three prominent northern Nigerian governors — Malam Dikko Umaru Radda of Katsina, Dr. Dauda Lawal of Zamfara, and Mai Mala Buni of Yobe — were seen walking calmly through the sacred city of Makkah, pausing at intervals for prayer and introspection.
Observers were moved by their simplicity: no escorts, no official entourage — just the governors in plain white ihram, walking barefoot like every other pilgrim. Their quiet presence and humility stood in contrast to the usual image of political power.
Governor Radda drew particular attention as he was seen in deep prayer, earnestly seeking divine intervention for peace, security, and stability in Katsina State. His actions resonated deeply — a leader not shielded by protocol but immersed in the spiritual journey, engaging directly with God in a moment of solemn devotion. It was a scene that left a lasting impression, not through speeches, but through sincerity and spiritual connection.
