The chairman of the committee of FCT imams initiative (CFII), Tajudeen Adigun, has said Imams and other religious leaders should be included in the fight against insecurity in Nigeria.
He spoke at a recent event on in Abuja. According to him, people belief and listen to their imams much more than the politicians. “This is not to underrate the position of politicians, because Allah has handed over power to them.
However, politicians should not underrate the influence of imams. If government decides to pay salaries to religious leaders so as to maintain peace, it is not too much.
“When I say religious leaders, I mean generally including the non-Muslim religious leaders, because all religions have influence over their followers. In FCT, I can tell you we have so many examples of calamities that when 75 percent of the imams deliver uniform Friday sermons, it will calm the situation,” he said.
