NSCIA WARNS POLITICAL LEADERS, ACTORS AGAINST INCITEMENTS, UNGUARDED COMMENTS
The Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) on has sent warned political leaders and actors against making provocative and unguarded statements which could drag the country into unnecessary conflict and anarchy.
The statement released on Tuesday February 28 reads; “While reckless statements from inconsequential individuals can be easily ignored, this is not so of those from respected political and religious leaders. It is important that patriotic and well-meaning Nigerian leaders should support unrelenting adherence to process and procedure in the on-going electoral process. This is because any inclination to unprocedural decision or action at this critical time is a direct call for anarchy which will not yield any positive outcome to the Nation.
“Meanwhile, the NSCIA counsels the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to remain undistracted and committed to its duty until it discharges it to its logical conclusion.
“All Nigerians, particularly Muslims are urged to, no matter the level of provocation from certain quarters, remain calm and prayerful.”
