According to the the text of the conference jointly signed by Sheikh Usman Abubakar Babantine and Imam Musa Tanimu, Chairman and Assistant Secretary respectively, “The discernible sense of disillusionment of the masses was clearly seen during the justnconcludes intra party local government primary elections in many states in the country which resulted into rioting, use of weapons, massive killings and vandalism, this shows that we are still lacking qualitative and responsible political leadership.

“In another narration, the noble prophet says; “when a person curses something, the curse ascends to the heaven and all the gates of heaven are closed against it. Then it decends to the earth and the gates of the earth are closed against it. It turns right and left and when it finds no exit it turns to the one who has been cursed and attaches itself on him if he should be deserving of bit, but if not. It returns to the one who uttered it” (Abu Daud).
“The recent utterances by a leading politician (well known for reckless statement) from Kaduna state by use of hash language, calling names and cursing of political opponents is very unfortunate and may likely trigger violent actions, counter reactions and portents a lot of danger to the country, the extent of which only Allah could tell.
