Biafra: Sultan Of Sokoto Speaks On How FG is Responsible For Nigeria’s Disunity
Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar II
The Sultan of Sokoto and President General of the Supreme
Council for Islamic Affairs, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar II, said the injustice in
appointments and allocation of resources in the country were responsible for
crisis and disunity in the country.
The monarch said this at a Collaborative
Interfaith Peace and Security Capacity Building Workshop, organized by the
Nigerian Army Resource Centre, NARC, in collaboration with Inter-Religious
Peace Initiative in Abuja.
Represented by the Executive Secretary of Abuja National Mosque, Alhaji Ibrahim
Jega, Abubakar said all-inclusive governance remains the panacea in addressing
the myriads of problems confronting the country.
Sultan Sa’ad Abubakar II urged leaders at all levels to be
equitable, fair and just to every member of the society in the distribution of
amenities and resources, irrespective of the political, religious and tribal
inclinations of members of the society.
According to the monarch, “When it comes to issue of
dispensation of justice and equitable distribution of resources that should be
done without fear or favour, affection or ill will.
“You are not there yourself as a leader and
because you have some encounters with a group of people, either a person or a
group of persons in a particular area, you should not hold on to it so as not
to extend justice to them.
“Allah says “do not allow your hatred of a particular group of people to make
you decide not to extend justice to them. Whatever happens, you must extend the
spirit of justice to them all without fear or favour, affection or ill-will.
“This issue of justice goes down to whatever
decision you are going to take, whether it’s against you or against your
parents or against your own children or against your other relations, let alone
saying you will not extend justice because you know somebody or because he is
from your town. Justice must be based on fair and equitable distribution of
assets to all.”
