The chief Imam of Apo Legislative Quarters Mosque, Abuja, Shiekh Nuru Khalid has reacted to his suspension for criticising President Muhammadu Buhari over the Kaduna train attack.
Khalid made headlines after he hit the government over its poor handling of the nation’s rising Insecurity and killings in the country. He advised Nigerians to boycott elections if the government can’t protect their lives.
“Nigerian masses should resort to only one term which is protect our lives, we will come out to vote; let us be killed, we will not come out to vote, since it’s only elections that you people know,” he said.
Shortly after, the mosque committee suspended the Imam. Chairman of the committee, Senator Saidu Dansadau stated that Khalid’s message was ‘inciting’ and could cause public outrage.
Defending the action, Senator Saidu Muhammed Dansadau, Chairman of the committee, accused the Sheik of inciting public outrage.
Reacting to the development on Sunday, Shiekh Khalid said; “God is the most powerful. He gives (enthrones) and takes away power (dethrones) from whomever He wishes”.
“Oh God! The master of sovereignty, you give sovereignty to whom you please, and seize sovereignty from whom you please, you honour whom you please and you abase whom you please, all good is in your hands, indeed you have power over all things.”
