Al Rabeeah mentioned in a press release on this occasion that, “The choice of such a faithful and efficient man reflects the wisdom and foresight of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, May Allah protect him, inspired by the Quranic verse: ﴾truly the best of men for thee to employ is the (man) who is strong and trusty﴿.”
“Prince Naif is largely regarded a statesman of unique and preeminent qualities; he possesses all the characteristics of the experience, skilful and veteran leader,“ Al Rabeeah added. “Let alone his glorious contributions and profound fingerprints in the history-making of this gigantic and vigorous country on the local, regional and international scales, in addition to his keen interest in the health-related affairs.”
Al Rabeeah acclaimed Prince Naif's outstanding achievements in numerous areas, especially charity and relief work and local management, as well as the public security that the country and its citizens enjoy, with the help and guidance of Allah Almighty.
As the statement drew to a close, His Excellency prayed for Allah, glorified and exalted be he, to protect the leaders and citizens of this nation, perpetuate its security and prosperity, and to confer Prince Naif with guidance and success, making him the best successor of the best predecessor.
