Emulate Matawalle In Fighting Banditry, Nasarawa Cleric Urges Governors
By: Mohammed Umar
Chief Imam of As-sadeeq Juma’at Mosque, Lafia in Nasarawa state, Sheikh Ahmad Babayo has applauded the efforts of the Zamfara state Governor, Alhaji Bello Mohammed Matawalle in fighting banditry and bad policies in governance.
Speaking at the weekly Jumuat sermons, Babayo said commitment demonstrated by the Governor to end banditry in the state was a clear concern of love to the people of the state.
“It is very clear that, Governor Matawalle has people at hear by taking giant stride to end banditry, especially, by series of committees on the banditry and promise to punish who ever is found to be aiding the crime”, he added.
He also stressed that, the decision of Goveronor Matawalle to reject #10 million pension to the former Governors was a clear of governance, considering the fact that he would be beneficiary of the pension one day but say no it.
He urged the congregation to fervently pray for the end banditry and other insurgency in the country.
Babayo also warmed against abuse and castigation of leaders, but rather continue praying for their success.
The Chief Imam also enjoined state governors to emulate Matawalle to demonstrate serious commitment in the fight against crime and entrench justice and fair play in governance.
