The chief Imam of Apo Legislative Quarters Mosque, Abuja, was reported Suspended over his sermon on Friday, April 1st, which is considered critical of president Muhammadu Buhari's administration, has now responded to the news of his Suspension.
In his sermom, Shiekh Nuru Khalid berated president Buhari for his body language towards insecurity in the country. The Shiekh reprimanded president Buhari for failing to visit places where bandits and terrorists had attacked.
Following his sermon, the Shiekh was suspended for his alleged inciting message. In his defense of Shiekh Nuru Kalid's Suspension, Senator Saidu Muhammed Dansadau, said:
“I am informing you that you have been suspended from leading prayers in the Apo Legislative Quarters Mosque from today being April 2nd, 2022 until further notice.
“The decision was taken out of the inciting Friday sermon you delivered on April 1st, 2022; where you advised people not to vote come 2023 general elections unless politicians respond to some critical questions.
“You should have advised them to vote out those that transgress the Almighty and breach people’s social contract as well as the state.”
However, while speaking on the development, the Shiekh stated that he got to know about his Suspension from the public. He enjoined the Nigerian leadership to know that God enthrones whomever he wants and also dethrones whomever he wishes:
"God is the most powerful. He gives (enthrones) and takes away power (dethrones) from whomever He wishes.
“Oh God! The master of sovereignty, you give sovereignty to whom you please, and seize sovereignty from whom you please, you honour whom you please and you abase whom you please, all good is in your hands, indeed you have power over all things.”
