God Will Deal With Buhari If He Doesn’t End Banditry In Nigeria – Sheikh Nuru Khalid

The Chief Imam of Apo Legislative Quarters Mosque, Sheikh Nuru Khalid has slammed President Muhammadu Buhari over his failure to tackle banditry in the country.

While addressing worshippers during his Friday sermon, Sheikh Khalid swore that Allah (God) will deal with President Buhari if he doesn’t return Nigeria the way he took over in 2015, when bandits are not killing people anyhow.

In a viral video, the Imam who spoke in Hausa, was quoted as saying, “Go and tell the president that under his government some group of people are issuing threats to local communities, demanding that they be paid some amounts of money or face attack.

“And they would gather the money and announce publicly on the BBC that they (bandits) would be paid this Friday [to avoid attack].

“Tell the president that there is a country we pay allegiance to, and there is a part of the country we do not know, which is governed by bandits.

“The president should either return the country as one nation where bandits are not killing people anyhow — just the way he took over, or Allah (God) will deal with him.

“This is the message. I’m saying this in an open forum, and it is live-streamed for the world to see. I take responsibility for my words, and I’m ready to face whatever consequences for preaching peace and unity of Nigeria.

“Mr President, we don’t want to hear the reports of killing of people under your watch. We don’t want to hear reports of cowardice among our soldiers, such that they are attacked at their base.

“We have a video where you said Nigerian soldiers had the patriotism, training, discipline to tackle all manner of criminality in the country. You said if you were elected, you will give them the required support to tackle insurgency in a short period of time.

“Your Excellency, a promise made is a promise kept. If you lack the advisers to remind you about this, we are ready to tell you. We are praying to God to help you fulfill this promise if really you are willing.”

KanyiDaily recalls that Peter Obi had also lambasted President Buhari for allegedly rewarding bandits with money while owing those who have legitimately worked.
