Governor Gboyega Oyetola of the State of Osun has enjoined this year's intending pilgrims from the state to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to be law abiding as they prepare to depart the country.
The Governor gave this admonition Saturday during the Farewell Prayers organised for over 670 intending pilgrims from the state.
Speaking further, Governor Oyetola said the whole of pilgrimage exercise is sacred, urging the intending pilgrims to accord the holy assignment the required devotion while in Saudi Arabia.
Thereafter, Mr. Oyetola urged the pilgrims to pray for the state in the holy land.
He said the state needed fervent prayers on security, finance and hitch-free governance.
Also speaking at the event, the Aragbiji of Iragbiji, Oba Abdur-Rasheed Ayotunde Olabomi, who had gone on Hajj a number of times, advised the would-be pilgrims to prepare their minds on the weather of the holy land, which according to the monarch, was harsh and not as friendly as Nigeria's.
