President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and members of the Supreme Council for Sharia in Nigeria (SCSN) are meeting at Aso Rock.
The SCSN President, Sheikh Abdur-Rasheed Hadiyyatullah, publicly apologised for endorsing the APC’s same-faith ticket in the 2023 election just two days before the meeting.
A new discussion concerning the Muslim-Muslim ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2023 election was triggered on Tuesday by Sheikh Hadiyyatullah.
In an interview with journalists in Abuja, he claimed that although the same-faith ticket was crucial to President Tinubu’s election win, Nigerians’ lives had remained the same.
According to him,“The Nigeria of today is too bad. What we are buying at N200 before is N2000 now. We have scarcity of Naira and unemployment is escalating. Nigerians are not enjoying the new government at all. I don’t want to go personal but the Sharia Council helped the Muslim-Muslim ticket to be successful. We campaigned and supported this government until it came to power, but we are suffering.
“Some of the Ministers are siphoning and looting the treasury. I don’t want to mention any name but we have all seen and read it. Nigerians have been suffering since the last seven months when this government came to power.
“We are not making any progress. The reason for the Muslim-Muslim ticket was to progress, triumph, succeed and to have a good government but we didn’t have anything.”
Although the meeting’s exact agenda is still unknown, it is assumed that subjects, including the nation’s security and economic issues, would be covered.
President Tinubu may use the meeting as a chance to respond to Sheikh Hadiyyatullah’s concerns and go over possible plans for enhancing the socioeconomic and security landscape of the country.
