The Sultan of Sokoto, Sa’ad Abubakar II,
has said that the injustice in appointments and allocation of resources
in the country, orchestrated by leaders in the All Progressives
Congress, APC, were responsible for the crisis and disunity in the
country.
The Monarch, revealed this at a
Collaborative Interfaith Peace and Security Capacity Building Workshop,
organised by the Nigerian Army Resource Centre, NARC, in collaboration
with Inter-Religious Peace Initiative, in Abuja.
Represented by the Executive Secretary
of Abuja National Mosque, Alhaji Ibrahim Jega, Abubakar said an
all-inclusive governance remains the panacea in addressing the myriads
of problems confronting the country.
He urged leaders at
all levels in ”the APC, to be equitable, fair, and just, to every member
of the society, in the distribution of amenities and resources,
irrespective of the political, religious and tribal inclinations of
members of the society to avoid crisis ahead of 2019.”
According to the Monarch: “When it comes
to issue the f dispensation of justice and equitable distribution of
resources, that should be done without fear or favour, affection or ill
will.
You
are not there yourself as a leader, and because you have some
encounters with a group of people, either a person or a group of persons
in a particular area, you should not hold on to it, so as not to extend
justice to them.
“Allah says, do not allow your hatred of
a particular group of people to make you decide not to extend justice
to them. Whatever happens, you must extend the spirit of justice to them
all, without fear or favour, affection or ill-will.
“This issue of justice goes down to
whatever decision you are going to take, whether it is against you or
against your parents or against your own children or against your other
relations; let alone saying you will not extend justice, because you
know somebody, or because he is from your town. Justice must be based on
fair and equitable distribution of assets to all.”
