Tuesday, August 02, 2016 Posted by Anonymous No Comments

Sa'ad Abubakar IV, the Sultan of Sokoto, yesterday in the United States of America, USA, pleaded with the international community to increase material and logistic support for President Muhammadu Buhari to fight and win the anti-corruption war.

The Sultan while speaking with top United States government officials at the Woodrow Wilson Centre said he not only endorsed the war against corruption, but also decried the conversion of funds meant for purchase of arms to fight Boko Haram to personal use by few Nigerians.

He noted that the money would have enhanced the capacity of the Nigerian military to fast track the fight against insurgency and possibly curtail the menace in the North-East Nigeria.

The Director of Woodrow Wilson Centre extolled the leadership qualities of the Sultan, he also thanked him for his tremendous support and assistance to United States agencies working on health-related and development issues in Nigeria.

Friday, July 29, 2016 Posted by Anonymous No Comments

The President General of the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs and Sultan of Sokoto, Sa’ad Abubakar, while speaking at a conference organised by Da’wah Co-ordination Council of Nigeria, has called on Muslims to fight any body or group that attempts to stop them from performing their religious obligations.

He said, ”the only thing that will make me to act or ask you to act is only when somebody or a group or some other nations decide to stop us from performing our religious obligations. That is the only way we can fight somebody.”

The Sultan who also warned Muslim clerics against preaching hate messages said, “When somebody or a group or some other nations decide to stop us from performing our religious obligations, we must never take laws into our hands. We must not be law officers. We do not do that in Islam.

“We do not force anybody to join Islam. There is no compulsion in Islam.

“Our good deeds, good actions and good interactions as Muslims will give that very bright light to everybody what Islam is and that is what brings people to join us.

“Those who do not want to come as Muslims are free to stay with us and continue working with us to make this country a much better place.

“Whoever wants to fight you, do not fight him; leave him alone. Be very patient.

“The only thing that will make me to act or ask you to act is only when somebody or a group or some other nations decide to stop us from performing our religious obligations. That is the only way we can fight somebody.

“But if I am allowed to pursue my religious obligations, say my prayers and pay my zakat and so many other things, I have no problem with anybody. To you, your religion and to me, my religion.”
