An Islamic cleric has made some serious allegations about how the Tinubu administration allegedly engages religious leaders in the North.
According to him, 12 religious leaders were selected from each northern state to promote and preach the βgospel of Tinubu.β He claimed they had five separate sittings in Abuja,Kano and jigawa and that each participant was allegedly given β¦3 million at one of the sittings
He went further to argue that the President does not genuinely value these religious leaders or the North. In his view, rather than allegedly using them to promote the government, they should be part of those advising the President on the untold hardship, economic crisis and suffering facing ordinary Nigerians, particularly in the North.
The cleric was also extremely blunt in his political assessment, saying that any Northerner who votes for Tinubu is an βidiot, a fool and a useless person.β He accused the administration of deliberately sidelining the North and described President Tinubu as deeply nepotistic, arguing that appointments, opportunities and government attention have disproportionately favoured certain interests.
Whether one agrees with his language or not, the bigger question remains: why are religious leaders being allegedly mobilised to defend a government instead of using their influence to speak truth to power on behalf of the people who are struggling?
Religious leaders should not be reduced to political cheerleaders. Their responsibility should be to speak for the people, hold leaders accountable and remind those in power of the suffering happening outside the corridors of government.
The HAUSA"s of Sabon Birnin (Gobir) are being killed daily and chased out of their Communities by FULANI Bandits, what's happening now is Ethnic Cleansing and Genocide while Authorities are doing nothing to prevent it.
VIDEO: Families from Unguwar Lalle community in Sabon Birni LGA of Sokoto State have been forced to flee their homes as insecurity continues to spread. With only a few belongings in their hands, many are leaving without knowing where they will spend the night or what awaits them.
It's heartbreaking to see people abandon everything they've worked for just to stay alive. No family should have to choose between their home and their safety π
Well said by my brother Al Ameen.
Rarara doesn't actually care about masses or anything. He himself, all of this is as a result of his political affiliations.
