An Islamic cleric in Zamfara State, Babangida Ahmad has described the alleged plan by the Sokoto State Governor, Ahmad Aliyu to depose the Sultan of Sokoto, Sa’ad Abubakar as child’s play.
He reminded that the Muslim Rights Concern, MURIC, headed by its National leader, Professor Isiak Akintolahad had already warned that nothing of such should be approved to save the image and reputation of the Muslim community in Nigeria.
Ahmad further stated that any circular that supports the removal of the Sultan of Sokoto is unwanted and will demoralize the Islamic community in the country.”
He noted that MURIC is monitoring the happenings in the Kano emirate, urging the northern elites to mediate into the issue and allow peace to prevail.
Ahmad explained that deposing the Sultan of Sokoto would cause more harm than good to the Islamic community in Nigeria.
