Sultan of Sokoto, Abubakar Sa’ad has
said that Jamatrul Nasril Islam,JNI, will take a common position on the
2015 Presidential election, after assessing the condition and welfare of
Muslims under the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan.
The Sultan made the statement on Sunday, at the opening ceremony of the national conference on the role of Muslim scholars in fostering unity, peace and security in Nigeria.
The conference was held to brainstorm on ways that could lead to a lasting solution to the violence that has ravaged northern Nigeria in recent years.
According to the Sultan, the evaluation of the present government had become necessary, so as to find out if the president has treated Muslim faithfuls fairly since he assumed power.
The outcome, he said would be the basis for the faithfuls to decide whether or not to support Jonathan’s re-election in 2015.
He accused the elites for the security challenges in some parts of the country, insisting that Muslims are not responsible for the ongoing insurgency which has claimed thousands of lives.
