The mosque’s steering committee had earlier suspended Khalid for criticising President Muhammadu Buhari over the last Monday night’s attack on an Abuja-Kaduna train.
Former Chief Imam of the National Assembly Legislators’ Quarters Mosque, Sheikh Muhammad Nuru Khalid, says the termination of his appointment by the mosque’s management committee was a necessary price he had to pay for identifying with the sufferings masses and speaking truth to power.
He argued that the president was in Kaduna for campaigns but refused to visit the state after the bomb attack on the passenger train. “The president has been to Kaduna for campaigns but couldn’t go to the state on a sympathy visit,” he had said.He added that he had been appointed by the management committee of a new Jum’mat Mosque behind the Central Bank Nigeria Quarters, Abuja, to lead the congregation with effect from Friday, April 8.
“Such people would stop at nothing to take away people like me, who are pro-masses and bold enough to speak the truth to power always on behalf of voiceless Nigerians.
