The Supreme Council for Shari’ah in Nigeria, SCSN, has expressed concerns on the Muslim-Muslim ticket that brought President Bola Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima into office.
Sheikh AbdurRasheed Hadiyyatullah, President of SCSN disclosed this in an interview with newsmen, during a National Conference which was held in Abuja with the theme, “Matters Arising From 2023 Election and Associated Socio-Economic Challenges.”
He lamented that millions of Muslims remain politically marginalized across various parts of the country, despite their significant population and constitutional rights.
He also warned against what he described as an attempt to suppress the rights of South-west Muslims to organize mechanisms that would enhance their coexistence with Christians within their communities.
“We stand in solidarity with our brothers and sisters in the South-west and we advise those who think they can divide the Nigerian Muslim-Umma to find other mischief to engage themselves”.
Hadiyyatullah also raised concerns over the disturbing economic situation in the country, urging the federal government to take immediate action to alleviate the suffering of Nigerians.
