The Peoples Democratic Party Governors Forum, on Monday in Abuja, described the sacking of the former Chief Imam of the National Assembly Legislators’ Quarters Mosque, Sheikh Muhammad Khalid, as a dangerous trend of Fascism perpetrated by the All Progressives Congress-led government.
In a statement signed late Monday by its National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, titled ‘Clampdown on Muslim cleric: PDP warns APC on fascism,’ the PDP argued that the APC is more concerned with 2023 elections than the welfare and security of Nigerians.
“Sheikh Khalid, in his sermon, clearly expressed the frustration and concerns of millions of Nigerians across the country irrespective of religious, ethnic, and political leanings. The main opposition said that rather than clamp down on free speech, the ruling party should “shed its arrogance in failure” and reassure the people by taking decisive actions against terrorism and worsening insecurity.
