Sokoto Spends N91Million On 90 Islamic Clerics, Imams Sent To Mecca To Pray For Buhari’s Healing
June 13, 2017 – Sokoto State Spends N91Million On 90 Islamic Clerics, Imams Travelling To Mecca To Pray For Buhari’s Healing
The Governor of Sokoto state through the Religious Affairs Commissioner, Katami Mani today announced that the Government of Sokoto has sponsored a 90-man contingent of Islamic clerics to travel to Mecca in Saudi Arabia to pray for President Buhari’s healing.
While addressing the clerics heading to Mecca, the commissioner said each of them will get N250,000 as Basic Travelling Allowance.
He also told reporters that the main mission of the 90 Imams is to pray for quick healing for Buhari in order to enable him to come back to Nigeria alive to continue the good work he started for the country.
The leader of the group, Shagari Maidamma praises Sokoto state government for the N91million given to his group to carry out the mission assigned to them.
He promises that the clerics will not engage themselves in any act capable of tarnishing the image of the country in Mecca.
I mean no disrespect to their Religion, but my question is, does it mean Allah will not answer them in Nigeria? How can Nigeria be wasting money and still claiming our coffer is empty,the same Sokoto that has so many misplaced individuals.
I hope they are not going there for training, because Saudi Arabia and it’s neighbors still remain the highest sponsor of Terrorism and Radical ISLAM.
NG thinker commentators make una look into this….
Mon u spoke my mind. This is absolutely unbelievable. If Allah is only present and can only answer them in Mecca, let them go through Britain and take Buhari along. Why is he not being treated in Mecca if the country is believed to be that holy? While Nigerian refugees starve in Cameroon millions are spent for people to go abroad and “pray” for Buhari. I just hope it’s pure prayers and no hidden agenda. Very soon they will come back flourishing in wealth. There are citizens living in this very state in absolute poverty but this is happening. What a rubbish!
IS it up to one week where bauchi paid 90 million to buy horses for their islamic trad. rulers in the state..we have nothing in common with these dullards in the north.no apologies
N90M + N91M= N181 MILLION WASTATGE OF MONEY on an irrelevant and unprofitable engagements. Yet, the senate will not say anything about it because it‘s all about the interest of islam.
