Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN), also known as Shiites, has said killings of its members and poor economic policies were among factors responsible for “successful failure” of the President Muhammadu Buhari administration.
“The Resource Forum of the Islamic Movement has added the killings and suppression of Shiites as another dimension to various reasons adjudged as having caused massive failure of the Buhari administration, as it winds up its eight-year tenure,” said a statement by Head of the Forum, Prof. Abdullahi Danladi.
“Some saw nepotism and lack of will to checkmate bizarre corrupt activities of government officials. All these could be contributory factors in the unforgivable and successful failure of the Buhari administration. However, there can be another dimension to the theories.” “The house of Sheikh Zakzaky was burnt and demolished…with his 70-year-old elder sister. Copies of the Holy Quran were destroyed, alongside other religious books. Similarly, the Fudiya Islamic Centre and Husainiyya Baqiyatullah, all in Zaria, were ransacked, burnt and demolished. The bodies of martyrs were dumped in mass graves, along with some injured that were still alive.”
