The 5th National Conference for Shari’ah implementing states ended yesterday in Sokoto with a call for the amendment of the constitution to address the rights of the muslim population, just as it immediately established a National Council on Shari’ah Implementing States.

It also viewed with utmost concern, the need to extend necessary support to the South-western part of Nigeria in their quest for the actualisation of the Shari’ah legal system in the region.

In its 8-point communiqué signed by Dr.Abubakar Nababa Umar, Permanent Secretary in the state Religious Affairs ministry at the end of the 3- day conference held at the Shukurah-Coral Hotel, Sokoto, it also urged Muslims to unite for a common goal, particularly on Shari’ah implementation in order to achieve the desired peace and unity in the country.

Similarly, the Sharia implementing states in the communiqué made it mandatory for Muslims to actualise the economic foundation of Sharia in addition to criminal issues. They were also called upon to take advantage of the Internet and ICT facilities to ensure the management of information and facilitation of the course of Shari,ah

The open air conference venue which witnessed attendance from 12 official Sharia implementing states of Bauchi, Borno, Niger, Kaduna, Sokoto, Kebbi , Zamfara, Jigawa, Katsina, Kano, Gombe and Yobe also attracted representatives from Oyo and Lagos states including numerous others yet to officially implement the Sharia system.

However, the conference urged Nigerians to avoid political thuggery and money politics in order to achieve a smooth political dispensation in the country.

This is what Buhari and Ribadu will first bring to bear on other Nigerians should they smell Aso Rock. Spit both men out, now.

Sharia will be good for the Swners. They cannot eat their cake and have it. Either they are muslims like Tinubu or they are not. No in-betweens.lol

Why should there be any implementations to the constitution for religion. Is this not a clear way of Islamic imposition. First islamic banking, then OIC(or whatever its called), and now they are trying to spread sharia to all states by a constitutional implementation. Where does it stop? Do they not have sharia courts in the sharia states? Why can't we establish Igbo religion across the states in nigeria and put up an Igbo religious court system as well? How bout the Yorubas, Ibibios, and others do the same. Whats so special about muslims?

Their quest for sharia will end where you have a preponderance of muslims, namely North and South West. The East and South South are no-go areas.
