1500 Powerful Islamic Clerics Hold Vigil For Saraki's Victory by kglamour(m): 7:56am On Sep 21, 2015 |
As the All Progressive Congress (APC) desperation to remove Senate President Bukola Saraki continues supporters and loyalists of the controversial former governor of Kwara state have engaged in vigil and fasting.One of the conveners of the prayers, Mr. Kayode Yusuf, who is popularly called ‘Maja,’ in an interview with Punch in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital on Saturday, said prayer sessions were being held all over the state, especially in the Ilorin metropolis.He said he had mobilised over 500 Muslim clerics while about 1,000, including the Chief Iman of Ilorin, Mohammad Solihu were praying in different areas in the state for Saraki’s victory.“Yusuf, who is the convener of ‘Maja Elders Forum’, called on President Buhari to interveneand prevent the polity from being over-heated.He expressed the hope that Saraki’s travail would soon be over.Yusuf said, “We in Kwara are powerless. The only thing we can do is to support him (Saraki) with prayers. We have no money, soldiers, police or any other security apparatus. We are just ordinary citizens of Kwara and Nigeria. But we in Kwara, especially in Ilorin, believe in the power of prayers.“All of us in Ilorin, including the Chief Imam of Ilorin, are involved in the prayers. Saraki is our leader. He must not come down. Within the short time that he was elevated as the Senate President, we know what we have benefited from him.“I have mobilised more than 500 Imans and over 1,000 others are praying in different areas. They have been praying and fasting. Even the women are praying for him. Saraki is our benefactor. Even the uneducated do not want anything to happen to Bukola Saraki. They are not sleeping but are also praying. The prayers will last till Saraki’s ordeal is over.”In a related development, the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Mr. Solomon Arase, said the Force were yet to receive a bench warrant to effect the arrest of the Senate President.Recall, the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT), headed by Justice Danladi Umar, had, in a ruling on Friday, ordered the IGP and other security agencies to arrest Saraki and produce him before it tomorrow (Monday) to face a 13-count charge bordering on corruption and false declaration of assets. The order and subsequent bench warrant followed Saraki’s failure to appear before the tribunal for arraignment. http://www.thecapital.ng/index.php/politics/3616-1500-powerful-islamic-clerics-hold-vigil-for-saraki-s-victory |

THEY ARE 1500 IGNORANT MUSLIMS WHO LIVE AND EAT BY THE CORRUPTION AND EVIL DONE BY THEIR SO CALLED LEADER. ALLAH IS NOT A COWARD. EVEN IF SARAKI WAS LATER FOUND NOT GUILTY OF THE THE CHARGES AGAINST HIM HERE ON EARTH, HE CAN'T ESCAPE IT IN THE SIGHT OF ALLAH. 1 Like |

He must not come down. Within the short time that he was elevated as the Senate President, we know what we have benefited from him.This is why I detest some of our religious leaders. Like them and the polithiefcians, it's just about their interests. 1 Like |
