The Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Abubakar Saad III yesterday vowed to
counter the upsurge of Christian evangelization in Nigeria with the
message of Islam.
But Governor Namadi Sambo of Kaduna State has cautioned that the
"good intention" of the Islamic leader in Nigeria could be hijacked
by religious extremists to destabilize the country.
Speaking during a meeting of Northern Traditional rulers (Emirs) at
Arewa House Kaduna State, Sadiq III lamented the increasing
activities of Christian evangelical organizations and vowed to
counter it with Islamic religion.
The Sultan who is also the President General of the Jama'atu Nasil
Islam (JNI) said the spread of Christianity has made it all more
urgent that the message of Islam shall be heard loud and clear and
the JNI must play a leading role in this endeavour".
The Sultan who is the spiritual leader of all muslims in Nigeria
noted that the task before the Islamic body under this dispensation
is to face the challenges of the future and reposition the JNI as a
premier Da'awah (Muslim evangelism ) organization in the country.
