Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Sultan of Sokoto and President of the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs, Muhammadu Sa\u2019ad Abubakar III, has called on Nigerian leaders to stop politicizing insecurity.<\/p>\n

Abubakar said the politicization of insecurity is Nigeria\u2019s major problem.<\/p>\n

Speaking at an event in Abuja yesterday, the monarch said the solution to insecurity in the country is very close.<\/p>\n

The monarch lamented that without adequate security, Nigerians can\u2019t worship God.<\/p>\n

\u201cParties are accusing one another of not doing enough to tackle insecurity. I think that\u2019s the major problem we\u2019ve been facing in the country. We believe we have a problem, and the solution is close.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeace is very important. Without peace, you can\u2019t even worship God. We find people killing themselves. We must go back to the holy books and work according to those books for lasting peace,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Also, the President of the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, Samson Ayokunle, appealed to Nigerians to sustain the pressure on politicians to ensure success in the fight against insecurity.<\/p>\n

Represented by the Deputy President of Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, Archbishop John Praise, Ayokunle said: \u201cThere has to be justice and fairness if peace is going to reign in the country.\u201d<\/p>\n
