INSECURITY: Sultan-led group JNI urges Buhari govt to wake up

The Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar, on Sunday, carpeted politicians in the country for fueling religious unrest across the country.

He said “politicians had been using their selfish ambition to fuel religious suspicious and create religious unrest in the country.”

The Sultan said this at Saint David’s Cathedral in Akure, Ondo State during a meeting with religious leaders under Nigerian Inter-Religious Council, NIREC.

The Sultan was in Ondo State on a two-day official visit being hosted by the Deji of Akure land, Oba Aladetoyinbo Aladelusi.

He, therefore, advised, “Nigerians to shun politicians and important personalities who are politicising religions and creating tension across the country.”

He also added that: “The Bible and Quran do not belong to any political party.
