The Islamic cleric said the protest in Sudan that led to the war started just the same way.
He urged Nigerians to learn from Sudan and avoid bloodshed or any action that could lead to the destruction of peace.
“Those that started were Sudanese citizens in an attempt to draw the attention of the government to end their hardship. However, the opposition groups that were against the government penetrated them because every government has opposition. This was what led to the chaos in the country.“Some foreign countries also took advantage of the protest and came into the country. They were the ones sponsoring these youths and supporting them. This led to regime change in the country but despite that, there was no peace in the country.“Many people thought after the regime changed there would be peace in the country but it turned out to cause more chaos across the country. As we speak, Khartoum, which is the capital of Sudan, has been completely destroyed and the residents fled."Tinubu’s govt tightens security over planned protests
