The Supreme Council for Sharia in Nigeria (SCSN) has recently withdrawn its support for President Bola Tinubu's government, expressing regret for voting for the Muslim-Muslim ticket. The council claims that the administration has sidelined the country's Muslims and failed to fulfill its promises. This decision was announced during a two-day congress held in Abuja to discuss the aftermath of the 2023 presidential election.
During the congress, intellectuals and representatives from various sects were given the opportunity to voice their concerns regarding the 2023 presidential election. Nafiu Baba Ahmed, the Secretary-General of the council, addressed reporters and highlighted the disappointment felt by the Muslim community.
Ahmed stated, "We were in the vanguard of mobilizing scholars, various sects, and Islamic groups to bring this government to power. But the scholars and various groups feel neglected, accusing the government of turning its back on Muslims, despite voting in the Muslim-Muslim ticket."
Disappointment and Broken Promises:
The gathering provided a platform for Muslims to express their grievances openly, as they realized that the Tinubu administration had failed to deliver on its promises made to secure the majority of Muslim votes.
"We're bitterly disappointed because we gave our all to bring this government on board, but they're paying us back this way. Is this the kind of reward we bargained for?" Ahmed questioned. He further highlighted that opponents of the Muslim-Muslim ticket had been elevated, while initiatives benefiting the cause of Islam or the interests of Muslims were being frustrated.
The Supreme Council for Sharia in Nigeria (SCSN) has now officially withdrawn its support for President Bola Tinubu's government, citing the neglect and failure to address the concerns of the Muslim community.
In Conclusion:
The withdrawal of support by the Supreme Council for Sharia in Nigeria (SCSN) represents a significant blow to President Bola Tinubu's government. The council's decision reflects the growing dissatisfaction within the Muslim community, who feel marginalized and let down by the administration's lack of action on their concerns. As the nation moves forward, it remains to be seen how this withdrawal of support will impact the political landscape and the relationship between the government and the Muslim community in Nigeria.
