Nuru Khalid, the suspended chief Imam of Apo legislative quarters mosque, has said that power belongs to God, following the sanction meted out to him.
Khalid was suspended from his position in the mosque after his sermon during Friday’s Jummat service.
The cleric had blamed the government for its inadequacy in dealing with the security situation in the country amid a high number of attacks by non-state actors.
He asked the electorate not to vote for any politician who cannot guarantee them the safety of lives and property.
Following that, the mosque committee headed by Saidu Muhammed Dansadau sanctioned the cleric, describing his teachings of political apathy as un-Islamic while urging the electorate to go to the polls to eliminate those who oppose God, the electorate, and the country.
In his reaction,
the cleric said God is the owner of power and dictates whom he gives.
