President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has been advised to redouble efforts in addressing the current security challenges bedeviling the country.
The Niger State Director General Bureau for Religious Affairs and Chief Imam of Bosso Central Mosque, Sheikh Umar Faruk Abdullahi gave the advice at the closing of this year’s Nupe Ramadan tafsir held at the Gidan Matasa in Bosso.
Sheikh Umar Faruok Abdullahi explained that the advice became necessary to reduce the increasing spate of attacks and the killings of innocent Nigerians especially people from the North by terrorists.
He also stressed the need for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to work assiduously towards addressing the problem of epileptic power supply in the country to enhance the establishment of industries that would served as a source of employment for the youths to address cases of youth restiveness in Nigeria.
The Clergyman also appealed to President Tinubu to as a matter of urgency rescind some of the hasty economic decisions he has made to include removal of fuel subsidy and tax reforms that have brought untold hardship to many Nigerians, for the good of all.
On the twenty twenty seven General elections, Sheikh Umar Faruok said the people of Niger State will come out enmass to elect credible leaders of their choice devoid of any sentiment and appealed to Nigerians to be peaceful and orderly during the polls to achieve meaningful results.
He also condemned reports of the killings of Christians in Nigeria, describing it as false and misleading, saying that Muslims were the worst hit by the problem of terrorism in Nigeria.
