The leadership of the Jama’atu Nasril Islam headed by the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Abubakar Sa’ad lll, on Tuesday cautioned Nigerian politicians against making hate speech ahead of the general elections.

The religious group also called on the Muslim community to pray for hitch-free elections in the country.

The JNI Secretary-General, Dr Khalid Aliyu, in a statement on behalf of the Sultan, noted that the country had fallen into hard times and required prayers of all Muslims.

JNI said, “Therefore, to Muslims, Du’a (prayers) is paramount in all circumstances of our lives, most especially in trying times like what we are witnessing daily in Nigeria today as a result of political permutations resulting in grave uncertainties towards the forthcoming 2019 general elections commencing in February.

“The call for prayer has inexorably become necessary because nothing is as honourable before Allah as prayer. For whoever to whom the door of prayer is open will have his prayers answered.

“Thus, Jama’atu Nasril Islam, under the leadership of His Eminence, Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar, CFR, mni, the Sultan of Sokoto and President-General, JNI, uses this medium to call on the Nigerian Muslim Ummah to engage in fervent prayers considering the fact that the 2019 general elections are around the corner.

“This call has become imperative bearing in mind that as Muslims, supplications to Allah, the Almighty, is the nucleus of worship, and there is nothing that is dearer to Allah than invocation. It is also the most honourable thing before Him, the Most High, and a surest way to obtaining requests put before Him.

“Hence, Muslims are implored to frequently engage in Du’a, especially for the seemingly palpable fear and anxiety from some quarters towards a resentful-free 2019 general elections.”

Oh Lord please deliver Nigeria from hard times in Jesus name and help us to make the right choice

He's just trying to be civil.
He should've told them that Buhari times are hard,they should pray Buhari goes away.

Instead of telling dem to take their destiny in their own hands and vote out d emperor of hard times, he is asking dem to pray.. Let dem do d needful first.. INEC doesn't count prayers neither. Only their PVCs will guarantee a change of times with change of leadership

Prayer indeed.
You should have asked them to search for star while you search for moon.

Satan of Sokoto.

Lol

This is sarcasm from sultan of sokoto

I can remember the role he played prior to 2015 election.

Satan of Sokoto.

Only people who are benefiting directly from this regime will not agree things are very hard for the populace

Hypocrites!
I'm yet to understand the 'personality' of Allah
If the same Allah is content with the total Islamization of Nigeria which is indeed one of the agenda of this administation,
Why would the Sultan ask Muslims to turn around and pray against Allah's wish??

The sultan should also urge Muslims to vote out buhari/osibanjo and support AtiKu/Obi.

AtiKu/Obi are investors, while buhari/Osinbajo are consumers. The difference is clear.

...and vote for Alhaji Atiku!

Buari will surely lead Nigeria another civil war...

Most of these guys know the country is divided and not at peace, but they are afraid of saying it to the tyrant face because of the fear of unknown!

OGA SULTAN PLS HELP US PRAY TO ALLAH TO KICK THE DAURA KING TO HIS BASE

Nigeria needs more than prayer. Tell ur people to get their PVC and vote the dullard out of power next month

Omooba77:

Als some brainless brainwashed fools with no hope of next meal.

No hard time foolish people

Nigerians have resolved not to use their brains but to pray about everything.

You guys ain't ready yet.

We have prayed enough

Just tell that tyrant in aso rock to step down and watch thinga go fine again

To pray? Lol, typical Nigerian religious leader.

ok

May God Almighty deliver us from criminals like PDP and Atiku because they are the only elements holding Nigeria back.

See the useless poll they created just to paint Atiku as a saint. They now used paid agents and bots to vote thinking elections are won on social media. What a bunch of desperate criminals.
