Cleric reveals the reason for insurgency

A famous Islamic cleric Ahmadiyya Muslim Juma’at in Nigeria, Dr. Mashood Aderinle Fashola, has given his reasons for the Boko Haram insurgency.

He stated that the insurgency Nigeria is witnessing today is the handiwork of politicians who brew terrorism to achieve their selfish political drive.

Daily Post reports that the scholar during his inspection tour of Ahmadiyya facilities in Kano, defined the insurgency as a fight for political power which politicians use to effect themselves into significance.

Aderinle Fashola added that Nigerians should be wary of the antics of politicians, whose stock in trade is to deceive the masses.

He said:  “Lack of moral discipline, selfish interest and religious intolerance has been the major bane of the country.”

The cleric further said that those who claim to be Christians and Muslim leaders only want to enrich themselves against struggle for humanity.

Fashola blamed politicians for generating the hardship people are currently suffering, continuing that if Nigerians swallow religious tolerance, ‘we will be able to fight politicians, who want to destroy the nation.’

“Politicians are fond of deceiving the people if they want to loot the treasury, as you notice them coming together, but if some of them fall by the way side, you see they are employing religious sentiments to curry favour from the public.”
