Aregbesola Charges Sultan Of Sokoto, Muslims On Boko Haram

Governor Rauf Aregbe­sola has called on the Sultan of Sokoto, Muhammad Abubakar to lead muslims in the coun­try to protest against the activities of Boko Haram.

The Osun State Governor made the statement while de­livering a speech at the reunion lecture organised by the University of Lagos Muslim Alumni(UMA), entitled, “Political Stability: A Necessity for Economic Development.”

According to Aregbesola, the Boko Haram sect is anti-Is­lam and does not represent the ideals of the religion.

He said, “We must rise up and denounce the evil perpetrated by the Boko Haram sect because they are tarnishing the peace­ful religion of Islam.

"I call on the Sultan of Sokoto to immediately lead other sin­cere muslims in a protest to denounce and totally reject the activities of the sect.

“They do not represent Islam. They are evil and wicked. We reject every­thing that the sect rep­resents and our religion forbids them. They are sycophants and we cannot continue to be quiet in the face of the insecurities.”

Former governor of Kwara State, Senator Bukola Saraki was the guest speaker at the occasion.
