2023: Islamic clerics to interact with governorship candidates in Kaduna


By Muhammad Tijjani

The Council of Imams and Ulamas in Kaduna State says it will hold an interactive session with governorship candidates of the various political parties for the 2023 General  Elections.

The Assistant Secretary of the council, Sheik Musa Tanimu, who said this at a news conference on Wednesday in Kaduna said that the interactive session will hold on Saturday.

He recalled that on Sept. 22, the council drew the attention of politicians and political agitators to desist from making statement that may bring disunity among people in the state.

“This time around the focus is to inform the general public of the council’s intention to have an interactive session with all gubernatorial candidates in the state.’’

He explained that the interactive session was to understand their focus and vision for the state and also an opportunity to seek for clarification as the case may be.

According to him, as a stakeholders, the council will continue to ensure only credible candidates are elected so that the state is governed by sincere and trustworthy person.

“The council is calling on any other candidate to come forward to make their vision know for the populace to decide.

He noted that the council was taking no side with any candidate but rather give opportunity to all.

“The council is reminding all political actors and agitators to conduct their camping’s in a peaceful manner without any rancour and devoid of unprecedented statement that my cause breaches of law and order.


Atiku speaks on Tinubu's health, gives opponent advice

 

While speaking, Tinubu could not remember the correct name of the DG of his campaign council...

Why this matters: Melaye, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), was speaking against the backdrop of Tinubu blunders at the flag-off of his campaign in Jos, Plateau State on Tuesday, November 15, 2022

Tinubu prays for PD...APC: On the same day, the former Lagos State governor suffered a gaffe. While concluding his speech, Tinubu said: “God bless PD…” and quickly corrected it to “God bless APC.

God bless PD… APC. God bless APC. APC. God bless APC. We will have the victory. God bless you,” he said.

Health criteria for Nigerian presidents: Reacting, Melaye said mental and physical fitness are constitutional requirements to be President of Nigeria.

Make I no lie, baba no well. The Almighty God will heal, The Almighty God will touch you,” Melaye said in pidgin in a video posted on his Facebook page.

Honestly, baba cannot do this thing. Baba is on low battery; baba is on low energy. Baba needs to just go and settle down and take care of himself. So tey, the thing come reach one, baba come dey pray for PDP, come dey say make God bless PDP.

“He nearly fell. It is sad

Tinubu's second blunder: While speaking, Tinubu could not remember the correct name of the Director General of his campaign council. He addressed Simon Lalong as 'Solomon Lalong'.

What you should know: Speculations around Tinubu's health had been long added to the conflicted candidate's list of controversies.
