Sultan of Sokoto, Sa’ad Abubakar III has stated that putting on hijab is a right and not a privilege for Muslims across the nation.
The Sultan spoke in Benin City at the General Assembly and Executive National Council Meeting of the Nigeria Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA).

Abubakar said though Christians were not believed to be terrorists but they committed wicked crimes against humanity.
He, however, hailed the Pope for making a very strong statement defending Islam as a religion of peace.

On the hijab controversy, the Sultan said: “Hijab is our right not a privilege. It is not a favour to us. It is our right.

“And we hold on to the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria that guarantees freedom of worship.

“That is why we don’t disturb anybody who wants to go and worship the way he wants.”
He added: “Nigeria is a multi religious state, not a singular state. And being a multi-religious state, we must allow the various religions to go on but we must not trample on each other’s right, which means I must be allowed to practice my religion the way I believe as ordered me by the Holy Quran and nothing else.

“So when we get this done, the issue of hijab and so many other things affecting Islam, I believe is our right, not a privilege, unless the Constitution is changed.”

On bad elements in Islam, he said: “Those bad people among us, like in other religions, we should pick them out and teach them the tenets of Islam.

“If they refuse to change, that is their own problem. We will meet with the creator on the judgement day.

“In any society, there are many terribly bad people. So many, who are not Muslims but carry out criminal activities with some Muslim organisations in America, France and even in Nigeria.

“Those people doing negative things should be called criminals or terrorists but not Muslims.

“I’ve never heard of Christian terrorists but we have heard of so many Christians or followers of other religions who committed heinous crimes against humanity.

“But they didn’t claim to do it for their religions and we did not hold them against their religions.”

So you knew that Nigeria is a multi religios state yet you went ahead to declare sharia rule in the core north right?

So you know that others should be allowed to practice their religion yet your Hisbah police in Kano go about destroying properties of those selling alcoholic drinks in kano when the sellers never forced any muslims to drink. Your people go about beating and even killing Christians found eating peacefully on their own during your ramadan fasting knowing fully well that they were Christians and not part of your fasting?

Nigerians, I hope we can see where the problem lies here.

WE CHRISTIAN ARE NOT A TERORIST BUT IMAM SAID THAT WE ARE CRIMENAL.

In Benin city doing what?
He want to Islamize Edo state. Oh God see what the APC goverment has actually done .
Christians defense thy selves by voting in our great Pastor.

No difference in them. From emir to alumajeri.
