Kebbi State Governor, Comrade, Dr. Nasir Idris has warned some religious leaders and clerics hiding in the garb of religion to advance political and selfish interests.
The Kauran Gwandu who described such behaviour as highly critical and contrary to divine injunctions.
Governor Idris stated this at Government House, Birnin Kebbi when he received the Waziri Gwandu, Alhaji Abdullahi Umar who represented the Emir of Gwandu on a courtesy sallah visit to the Governor.
“It is glaring that some Ulama mount the pulpit or use Tafsir sessions to castigate leaders and cast aspersions on their persons for smear campaign or self fulfilment, I am also not immuned from such acts”, Idris complained.
He made it clear that such unholy attitude must cease to safeguard the sanctity of religion and protect the dignity of leaders.
The Ulama, he emphasised should uphold their value as moulders of good character and morality devoid of soiling faith with personal aggrandisement.
Idris, who holds the traditional title of Kauran Gwandu, acknowledged the support and cooperation of the Gwandu Emirate Council led by the Monarch, Alhaji Muhammadu Iliyasu Bashar to his administration, urging traditional institutions to sustain prayers for peace and prosperity of the land.
The veteran Labour Leader expressed happiness about the resuscitation of Durbar in this year’s Eid-el Fitr celebration by the Emir, saying it is an honour to him.
“For a long time, durbar has not been staged by the Gwandu Emirate Council until now while I am the governor of the state, being my first observance of the Eid-el Fitr as sitting Chief Executive, I am highly impressed about the colourful event”, he remarked.
He affirmed commitment to intensifying his reform policy of economic growth and infrastructural development of Kebbi State.
The emir was represented at the occasion by the Waziri of Gwandu, Alhaji Abdullahi Umar who led other Councillors of Gwandu Emirate Council, traditional title holders, District Heads and the Ulamas on Sallah homage to congratulate the governor on the successful completion of this year’s Ramadan fast and celebrations of Eid El-Fitr peace and tranquility.
He affirmed their support, loyalty and obedience to the Governor and his administration, commending him for the remarkable achievement recorded in transforming the State, especially the capital Birnin Kebbi, to a modern city worthy of its status.
He called on people to support Governor Nasir Idris on his quest to develop the state,saying that all hands must be on deck to compliment effort of the governor.
Earlier,the Emir of Gwandu and Chairman, Kebbi State Council of Chiefs, Alhaji Muhammadu Iliyasu Bashar, led an enchanting durbar procession which passed along the inner front gate of the Government House, watched in admiration by Governor Nasir Idris, his deputy Senator Umar Abubakar Tafida, the Head of Service, Commissioners and other top government officials who stood by the gate.
