Bello Shinge Launches Weekly Fuel Donation to Four Major Juma'at Mosques in Misau
By Mohammed Kaka
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Senatorial Candidate for Bauchi Central, Hon. Bello Aliyu Abubakar Shinge (Dan Galadiman Shinge), has announced the commencement of a weekly fuel donation programme to support four major Juma'at mosques in the Misau metropolis.
The initiative will see 20 litres of petrol or diesel donated every Friday to each of the selected mosques to help power their generators during Juma'at congregational prayers.
The four beneficiary mosques are:
Misau Central Juma'at Mosque,
Izala Headquarters Jos Mosque,
Izala Headquarters Kaduna Mosque, and
Dariqa Juma'at Mosque (formerly known as Inyass Mosque).
Speaking during a telephone interview with Baushe TV, Hon. Shinge said the initiative is a religious and humanitarian commitment aimed at supporting the worship of Allah and easing the financial burden on the mosques.
According to him, the programme is not driven by politics but by his sense of responsibility as a Muslim to contribute to the growth and development of Islam.
"Politics aside, we have decided to make our own contribution to our religion. It is one of our foremost responsibilities as Muslims to support Islam and assist our places of worship in whatever way we can," Shinge stated.
He explained that each of the four mosques will receive 20 litres of either petrol or diesel every Friday, depending on the type of generator in use.
"We will continue to provide the fuel every Friday, In Sha Allah, in fulfilment of our promise. Whether the mosque uses a petrol or diesel generator, we will supply the appropriate fuel needed," he added.
Hon. Shinge also called on wealthy individuals and members of the Muslim Ummah to support mosques and other religious activities according to their financial capacity, physical ability, and moral responsibility.
He stressed that collective contributions from members of the community are vital to promoting Islamic values and strengthening religious institutions.
The PDP senatorial candidate further urged Nigerians to continue praying for lasting peace, unity, and national development.
"We must continue to pray for peace, unity, and progress because Nigeria is the only country we have. It is our collective responsibility to work together and pray for its stability and prosperity," he said.
The weekly fuel donation programme is expected to reduce operational costs for the beneficiary mosques while ensuring uninterrupted power supply during Friday congregational prayers. Residents and religious leaders have described the initiative as a commendable act of charity and community service that reflects the Islamic values of generosity, compassion, and service to humanity.
