Allah maybe punishing the North with these Problems - Sultan of Sokoto

Sultan of Sokoto and President, Jamatu Nasril Islam, JNI, Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar, has said that Muslims gave President Goodluck Jonathan an agenda for implementation during the 2011 presidential election campaign.

He, however, did not reveal the content of the agenda.

This revelation came at a time the dust raised over the one-term agreement President Jonathan allegedly reached with governors in the build-up to the 2011 presidential election was yet to settle.

The Sultan stated this at the national conference and pre-Ramadan meeting of JNI in Kaduna yesterday.

He said that Nigeria would remain backward if people failed to correct a leader, adding that many things had gone wrong in the country.

Abubakar advised the Federal Government amnesty committee to look into happenings in other parts of the country.

He said: “During the election campaign, I remembered in this very hall, President Jonathan requested to see the Muslim leaders under the Jamatu Nasril Islam, JNI.

“It was in this very hall we listened to what he wanted to see us for, and we gave him our agenda; the Muslim agenda, what we wanted from him. “Whether he has done what we wanted from him or not, it is a different thing all together because we have not really sat down to articulate the issue because so many things are happening that have taken the attention of this forum.

“What is happening in the northern part of the country is an unfortunate incident which has been forced on us, maybe for so many reasons, maybe the Almighty God wants to correct our ways.

“I want to state here that our main problems has been lack of unity, lack of consensus in whatever we do.. http://www.osundefender.org/?p=106709
