Insecurity: We’re Not Sincere With Nigerians – Sultan Slams Faith Leaders
The Sultan of Sokoto, Abubakar Sa’ad III, has slammed faith leaders for not being honest with Nigerians concerning the insecurity ravaging the country.
The Sultan stated this on Wednesday at the Second Tri-Annual Meeting of NIREC in Abuja.
He warned that the Council would slip into irrelevance except faith leaders embrace sincerity, accountability and honest engagement.
According to him, NIREC had drifted from its founding purpose and must urgently confront internal contradictions weakening its credibility.
“Many years ago, when I walked in here, the atmosphere was very, very friendly and loving. Anyone seeing the discussions and chats going on then would immediately know we were in a happy mood.

“Now, unless something is wrong somewhere, we need to ask ourselves some questions,” the royal father said.
He accused some religious leaders of expressing unity inside NIREC meetings only to make divisive comments outside, a pattern he said undermines interfaith stability.
“We sit down and say so many good things to one another, knowing God owns everything. Yet, when we go out, away from our comfort zone, we begin to say negative things about one another. Are we really honest with ourselves?” he queried.
