Nigeria’s prominent cleric Sheikh Zakzaky arrives in Tehran
Leader of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria Sheikh Ibrahim Zakzaky has arrived in Iran as part of his second foreign visit after the termination of his home arrest by the regime in Abuja.
According to Press TV, Sheikh Zakzaky and his wife, Malama Zeenah Ibrahim, arrived at Imam Khomeini International Airport in the capital Tehran on Wednesday and were warmly received by the Iranian people as well as their supporters and followers upon arrival.
The participants, in their hundreds, held placards and waved Iranian national flag as well as portraits of Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei and late anti-terror Commander Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani in support of the prominent Nigerian Muslim cleric.
“I am very happy that such a crowd supports the resistance today, and I have nothing to say but to thank you dear ones,” Sheikh Zakzaky said in an address at the airport.
Pointing to the divine promise of the victory of truth over falsehood, he said, “We are all under a great test, and it is hoped that the Islamic Revolution will bring about change in the whole world, including in the US and Europe, to set the ground for the emergence of the last Shia Imam, Imam Mahdi (May God hasten his reappearance).”
