The Daily Post newspaper reports that a coalition of Quranic memorizers and reciters has urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu not to swear in former Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, as a minister.
Sheikh Sidi Aliyu Sise, the Director of Education, Sheikh Dahiru Usman Bauchi Foundation, appealed to the President not to swear in unjust politicians.
According to Sise, El-Rufai’s nomination and his screening by the Senate were an injustice to Qur’anic memorizers and recipes because the former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) oppressed Almajirai during his stewardship as a governor.
The Qur’anic teacher said:
“We demand justice as a result of injustice, harassment, trauma, and difficulties encountered by our disciples, teachers, and many Qur’anic scholars, when he evacuated our innocent pupils from the House of Maulana, Sheikh Dahiru Usman Bauchi, in Kaduna to an unknown destination.”
The Islamic scholar, who urged the President to have his eyes on justice in leading the nation, insisted that swearing in El-rufa’i as a minister would mean that the President supports the injustice the almajarai suffered under the governor.
