Hon. Bonu Solomon Saanu, the Member of the Lagos State House of Assembly representing Badagry Constituency I, has demonstrated remarkable support for religious and community development by awarding a full Hajj scholarship to esteemed Islamic scholar Sheikh Ismail Tejidini Folorunso.
The announcement was made during the annual Ramadan lecture of the AL-ULAMAU SUPPORT GROUP FOR AHMED TINUBU (ASGAT) in Badagry West LCDA. Hon. Bonu, who attended the event, described the gathering as an opportunity for spiritual reflection and a celebration of faith-driven community engagement.
"Yesterday was indeed a remarkable day! I had the privilege of attending the AL-ULAMAU SUPPORT GROUP FOR AHMED TINUBU (ASGAT) of Badagry West LCDA's annual Ramadan lecture. This group has been a strong supporter of our party, the APC, during the last general elections, and it was wonderful to see them come together to promote spiritual growth and community development," Hon. Bonu stated.
The highlight of the event was the lawmaker’s announcement of a fully sponsored pilgrimage to Mecca and Medina for Sheik Tejidini, in recognition of his contributions to religious teachings and grassroots mobilization.
"The event was truly inspiring, with thought-provoking discussions and reflections on the importance of faith and community. As a token of appreciation for their hard work and dedication, I was honored to award a trip to the Holy Land, Medina, and Mecca to one of the deserving Islamic scholars. Alhamdulillah, may this blessing bring joy and spiritual growth!" he added.
ASGAT, a faith-based support group, has played a crucial role in mobilizing grassroots support for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and its candidates, including President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Hon. Bonu acknowledged their impact, emphasizing their role in both political and community development efforts.
"ASGAT is one of the many support groups that have been instrumental in promoting the APC's agenda and supporting its candidates, including Ahmed Tinubu. This group in Badagry West has played a significant role in mobilizing grassroots support and promoting community development initiatives both spiritually and physically," he said.
The scholarship award to Sheik Tejidini underscores Hon. Bonu's commitment to fostering religious harmony and rewarding dedication to faith and public service. The initiative is expected to further strengthen ties between political leaders and religious institutions in Badagry.
