Amid the ongoing EndBadGovernance protest in Nigeria, Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar, has appealed to the Jumu’ah mosque Imams and Muslim leaders to calm nerves and call on the Ummah to appreciate peace than chaotic state of affairs.
He also urged Nigerians in general to end the protest and urgently come to table for dialogue.
Abubakar made the call in a statement issued by the Secretary-General of JNI, Prof. Khalid Aliyu, on Thursday.
“Therefore, we in the name of Allah, the Most High, call for an end to the snowballing rampage, in the name of protest.
“We should all understand that there must be a stable country called Nigeria, before we can proudly call ourselves Nigerians.
“With tomorrow being Friday, Jumu’ah mosque Imams and Muslim leaders are implored to calm nerves and call on the Ummah to appreciate peace rather than chaotic state of affairs, which may even deny us congregational prayers,” he said.
Abubakar urged all Nigerians to be in continued prayers for Allah’s apt intervention on the current situation in the country.
DAILY POST reports that Thursday marked the commencement of the #EndBadGovernance protest in Nigeria.
The first day of the protest witnessed widespread violence and lootings across major cities, with several protesters reported dead.
