Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>National Chairman Council of Ulama, Jama\u2019atu Izalatul Bid\u2019ah Wa\u2019Ikamatis Sunnah JIBWIS Sheikh Sani Yahaya Jingir has asked Nigeriains to vote wisely not because of religion or any political party in the coming 2023 general election.<\/p>\n

He made the call while speaking at the closing ceremony of this year\u2019s Ramadan in Dutse, the state capital of the state.<\/p>\n

Represented by Sheikh Hassan Abubakar Dikko, said Nigeria needs God-fearing and who can alleviate the suffering of the common man.<\/p>\n

He said the country needs competent leaders who can salvage electorates from trying moments irrespective of religious or political parties\u2019 differences in the 2023 general elections.<\/p>\n

\u201cPrayers are the only option remaining for the country to overcome its trying moments,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

According to him, \u201cWe need to have good leaders who have zeal and passion to end the current insecurity situation of the country, whoever he is and where he comes from.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jingir, however, urged the Muslims to utilize the blessings of the Holy Month of Ramadan and pray for the peace and unity in the country.<\/p>\n

He advised Nigerians not to vote for any candidate just because of his religious belief, political party or ethnic background.<\/p>\n
