The Sultan of
Sokoto, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar lll, has declared that God was using insurgency
in the Northern part of the country to punish Nigerians for their sins.
Abubakar said
Nigerians must learn to adhere to the teachings of the Quran and the Bible to
escape God’s wrath.
The monarch stated
this at the 5th International Conference on “Love and Tolerance: Countering
Violent Extremism for Peaceful Coexistence” in Abuja, on Thursday.
Represented by the
Emir of Jiwa, Dr. Idris Musa, the Sultan of Sokoto stated that the challenge of
insurgency would come to an end when Nigerians stop committing sin.
He said: “The
security challenge is our problem. The Holy Quran is a message to mankind. The
Holy Bible is a message to mankind. If we cannot listen to what the Bible and
Quran have taught us and we continue in our bad ways, what do we expect?
“It is part of the
punishment we are receiving based on our sins. If we can stop committing sin
and abide by God’s words, things will change.
“It is part of the
punishment we are receiving based on our sins. If we can stop committing sin
and abide by God’s words, things will change.”
The monarch urged
Nigerians to live in harmony and stop creating problems for themselves.
Abubakar, who urged
Nigerians not to be afraid, stressed that the country has all it takes to
defeat insurgency.
He added: “We are
appealing to everyone to live together and be our brother’s keeper and live in
harmony. We should not create problems for each other.
“We can win the
fight against insurgency. Everyone is afraid of each other, but I am sure that
we are going to win the war. Today, it has reached a situation where a senior
citizen is running away from the common man, because, he is thinking that he
would lose his life, why?”
