President Muhammadu Buhari has advised Nigerians not to be
afraid of expressing their opinions in the 2023 general elections.
The president who spoke through the minister of
Communication and Digital Economy, Professor Isah Pantani said nobody has the
right to force another to vote against his or her conscience.
He stated this during the closing ceremony of the 37th
National Qur’anic Recitation competition in Gusau, the State capital,
commending the State government for sponsoring the program.
The President also tasked the politicians and leaders to
justify their positions by being fair to their subjects, stressing that if
Muslims and Christians can read the Qur’an and Bible extensively, nothing can
take peace away from the country.
In his speech, Governor Bello Mohammed Matawalle said the
insecurity situation in the state informed his decision to host the
competition, hoping that it would make a great impact on the lives of the
people.
“The Quaran remains the greatest guiding principle in the
lives and deeds of the Muslims. I, therefore, pray that the occasion would
attract righteousness among the people”
According to him, his administration would continue to give
priority to Islamic values, pointing out that Islam serves as a source of
guidance to all Muslims and can reduce the ravaging insecurity situation in the
State.
