‘I fear for Nigeria’s future in 2023’ – Sultan of Sokoto
He made his fears known during the weekend ay the 2019 General Assembly of the Da’awah Coordination Council of Nigeria held at the Sultan Palace, Sokoto
Sultan noted that the 2019 elections witnessed a very disturbing trend with religious leaders who ought to be neutral, openly pitching tent with candidates. “I have been an observer of the election over the years and have never declared support for any candidate. As a religious leader, I have never asked Imams or Muslims preachers to preach against anybody or in support of any as well,” he asserted
“2019 election has come and gone. Though there are court issues here and there but let us begin to plan ahead of 2023 on how to ensure that we have leaders that are our choice and not those that are forced on people. He tasked religious leaders: “I want you to go back to your closet and ask yourself what you have done in using your influence to preach to people on the need for peace and allow the will of God to prevail.
