A Sokoto based Islamic cleric, Bello Yabo, has likened the attack on the convoy of President Muhammadu Buhari in Katsina to the stoning of the satan.

The Stoning of the Devil or Satan is one of the Islamic Hajj pilgrimage rituals in the holy city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia, where pebbles are thrown at three walls called jamarat.

DAILY NIGERIAN reports that on Wednesday some angry residents of Katsina came out to protest what they described as untold hardships meted on Nigerians by the Buhari administration.

The protesters reportedly lit bonfires and threw pebbles and other items at the presidential motorcade.

Reacting to the incident during his preaching session on Friday, Mr Yabo said that the action depicted the anger and frustration of many Nigerians.

“You have heard how Katsina people stoned the Satan yesterday. May Allah bless Katsina people. I was filled with joy last night. Any preacher who faults them should go and correct [the problems created by the administration].

“This how they should be treated wherever they go. This how they will realise they wronged the people.

“True to their slogan, Katsina people have shown that they are only shy but fearless. And they have shown that yesterday. May God bless them.

“They booed him as a thief and stoned him like the Satan. This is how people should revolt against their oppressors. Until we act this way, they will never regard us.

“What happened to him [Buhari] is a clear example of change from grace to grass. Remember, this is a man for whom many people were killed. But now look at how he is being embarrassed and pelted with stones in his own state like the Satan. I’m happy that his happened in Katsina; otherwise, it would have been given a different interpretation,” the cleric said.

Mr Yabo, who said a lot of people would lose their legitimate income as a result of the Central Bank of Nigeria’s policy to redesign the naira, also faulted human rights groups for not raising their voices to condemn the CBN action.

“Where are the human rights organizations? Or is this not an abuse of citizens’ rights? How many people will lose their legitimate and hard earned money as a result of this policy. But the good news is that people have begun to stand up for themselves,” he added.

The peopleof Katsina will still vote for the Satan and APC twice on a Saturday than cast their vote for yanmiri. There is a yanmiri that is behind the policy which is making it extremely difficult for people to access the new notes. If he dares step into the North, they would not only stone him but his head might be sent home to his people.

Yet to see the chances of tinubu winning grin

The powers that be are not supporting him
The Nigerian youths with the largest population are not supporting him
Afenifere is not supporting him
Educated elites are not supporting him
The south where he comes from are not supporting him.
His party members aside urchins and paid sycophants are not supporting him.
His fellow contestants at the primaries are silent about supporting him.

Where does tinubu hope to get votes to win the election from.

peepydelano:
It’s sad to see baba unwillingly allowing Tinubu to bring dislike to himself. He should absolutely stop following him to campaign ground. Katsina and the whole of northern Nigeria have made their point clear on going with Atiku this time around, he should not allow Tinubu to stain his white please.

Jflex07:
Buhari does not give a fvck,he has achieved his dream of becoming a president albeit performing woefully.

Jalinspy:
Tinubu will be stoned and crucified soon. He is the bigger Satan . Reject tinubu and have peace of mind .
VOTE WISELY
