He stated this on Wednesday at the opening of the 2025 triennial meeting of the Nigeria Inter-Religious Council, NIREC, in Abuja.
The event, themed “Collaboration of Inter-Religious Council with Government to Promote Peace in Nigeria,” brought together key religious and political leaders.
Abubakar said Sharia is strictly for Muslims and should not be imposed on non-Muslims in any form, including dress or religious practice.
He emphasised that Nigeria operates a multi-religious country where government supports the growth of both major religions without adopting any as a state religion.
Responding to recent calls for the abolition of Sharia, the Sultan said Nigerians are free to practice their faith without interference and urged leaders to avoid actions that could inflame religious tension.

Some of his people will not like this.
ReplyDeleteThey will attack him and he will come back and explain that he didn't mean it that way.
Watch and see.
Trump and America have suddenly made everyone to speak up!
DeleteWhat was the Sultan's position on this matter before now. 🤔
Nigeria is a secular state. It's best to 'un-amalgamate' Nigeria into different countries so the Muslims can practice their sharia in their own country or caliphate while the Christians live in their own "countries".
God bless you Sultan
ReplyDeleteWe tell una say we follow una for it?
ReplyDeleteSharia is for the Muslims .
And as it should be
ReplyDeleteYou're right sir
ReplyDeleteWill all those religious bigots listen? Ignorance and illiteracy is a disease majority of them are facing
ReplyDeleteKept ignorant and literate by their own leaders.
DeleteWhy haven't their leaders promoted and sustained mass education and development for them all these years?
One would've thought they would have copied their brothers in UAE in development and technological advancement.
After all, their leaders and elites go on pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia and see all the development there and own properties in Dubai.
Or is their own Islam different? 🤔🤔🤔
Hmmmm is it because of what the US government is saying
ReplyDeleteSharia should only be for Muslims. Christians should not be involved in it. The leaders over there know this, but sometimes want to exceed boundaries to impress their followers.
