Shariah Council Urges President Tinubu to Tackle Hunger, Insecurity Before It’s Too Late

The Supreme Council for Shari’ah in Nigeria (SCSN) has asked the Bola Tinubu-led government to immediately address the hunger and insecurity in the nation.

The President of the council, Sheikh Abdurrasheed Hadiytullah, stated this on Tuesday during a conference held in Kaduna State to deliberate on the state of the nation.

Hadiytullah also alleged that trillions of naira were spent on security and power in the country but noted that there were no commensurate results over the years.

The Shariah Council leader urged the federal government to re-examine the neoliberal economic template guiding our policies and perish the thought of plans to totally abolish all subsidies

The President of the Supreme Council for Shariah in Nigeria (SCSN), Sheikh Abdurrasheed Hadiytullah, has stated that the Muslim-Muslim ticket of the Bola Tinubu-led administration does not guarantee a solution to the country’s challenges.

Speaking at the annual Pre-Ramadan meeting of the SCSN, Hadiytullah said: “The idea of a Muslim-Muslim ticket in our political life has been emphatically established.

“But of course, the idea of a Muslim-Muslim agenda, which we believe is the right of the Muslim majority in a democracy, is not, on its own, a solution to the myriad of challenges facing our country

Speaking further, Hadiytullah lamented that Nigerians are “living in turbulent and unpredictable times characterized by fear, insecurity, excruciating poverty, mutual distrust, corruption, and despondency.”
