“Nigerians are so religious but we don’t know God. We need good leaders who have the fear of God and love the people.
“Our political leaders are self-centred. We need leaders who will act according to God’s will, leaders who are not tribalistic and religious-centred.”
Speaking on the Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket, the cleric criticised the development because of the sensitivity of religion in the country, saying that political parties should endeavour to produce quality leaders who will live above board.
