Imam Abubakar Did What Leaders Failed To Do — Peter Obi by Kuginzi(op): 7:10am On Jan 17

By Luminous Jannamike

Former Anambra State Governor, Peter Obi, has mourned the death of Imam Abubakar Abdullahi, describing the late cleric as a rare example of humanity and moral courage whose actions saved lives and offered Nigeria a powerful lesson in leadership rooted in compassion.

In a statement on Friday, the 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate said the Imam’s life stood as a stark reminder that true leadership is not defined by position or power, but by the willingness to protect human dignity in moments of danger and division.

“I received with deep sadness the news of the passing of Imam Abubakar Abdullahi, a man whose life stood as a quiet but powerful rebuke to hatred and division.

“By opening his home and his mosque to those in danger, he reminded us that the truest expression of faith is the protection of human dignity.

“While many may mourn Imam Abubakar, I believe it is more fitting to celebrate him. He turned his life into a living lesson, showing us that we are strongest when we see one another first as human beings, regardless of religion, tribe, or background.

“At a time when the abuse of faith cast long shadows across our land, he stood as a beacon of light, reminding us that the essence of Islam is peace and the protection of the vulnerable.

"We honor this great soul because he understood that true leadership is not measured by power wielded, but by mercy shown.

“May Allah grant us the vision and courage to build the new Nigeria of our dreams, where leadership is anchored on competence, capacity, and compassion,” Obi said.

Imam Abubakar Abdullahi gained widespread recognition for sheltering both Muslims and Christians during violent attacks, an act that has since become a lasting symbol of interfaith courage and humanity in Nigeria.

You will see and read sophisticated statements from the data boys from the so called sophisticated region and people.

Tell them the truth about their own predicaments they will abuse you and call you names. Show them the failures and incompetence of a certificate forger they will cry blue PO. grin

They are never interested to hear the truth. Their only Mission is to defend their tribe man no matter how he is failing

Cry, cry again. Check whether it is okay, then cry again. Eat raw pepper and cry again. Find the nearest wall hit it mercilessly and cry again. Just keep crying to console yourself if you don't like what PO has said and the fact that he is accepted by all Nigerians regardless of faith.

May God rest his soul

Honestly, religion without humanity is sheer waste of time and God is not interested in that

The problem of Islam is that many of its adherents are brainwashed to hate others, hence they lack humanity

This man is the only Muslim that should be given his 72 virgins if at all there is anything like that in the Life after

For Buhari and other Islamic extremists, they will rot in H*ll
