The Supreme Council for Sharia in Nigeria (SCSN) has voiced disappointment over the perceived failure of the Muslim-Muslim ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to bring positive changes to the country.
The organization, which had supported the same-faith ticket in the last general elections, expressed concern about the lack of development and progress under Chief Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration.
SCSN President, Sheikh AbdurRasheed Hadiyyatullah, made this revealation in an interview with journalists during a National Conference held in Abuja with the theme, “Matters Arising From 2023 Election and Associated Socio-Economic Challenges.”
He called for the resignation of ministers deemed ineffective for the nation’s well-being. Disclosing that despite substantial support during the election, Nigerians have not experienced the anticipated dividends of democracy in the past seven months.
SCSN President stated, “The Nigeria of today is too bad. What we are buying at N200 before is N2000 now. We have scarcity of Naira and unemployment is escalating. Nigerians are not enjoying the new government at all.
“I don’t want to go personal but the Sharia Council helped the Muslim-Muslim ticket to be successful. We campaigned and supported this government until it came to power, but we are suffering.
“Some of the Ministers are siphoning and looting the treasury. I don’t want to mention any names, but we have all seen and read it. Nigerians have been suffering since the last seven months when this government came to power.
“We are not making any progress. The reason for the Muslim-Muslim ticket was to progress, triumph, succeed and to have a good government, but we didn’t have anything.
“See how Nigerians are suffering. No money. No progress. We have not enjoyed anything since seven months of this government.
“We are sympathetic with this government, but the way forward is for some of these Ministers to go home and rest, and we will find other people who will be honest with themselves and the country, those who are there to work, not to loot the country,” he concluded. #SCSN
