The sacked Imam of Apo Legislative Quarters Juma’at Mosque, Sheikh Muhammad Khalid, popularly known as Digital Imam, has asked President Muhammadu Buhari to seek forgiveness from God for his failed promises to Nigerians.
Recall that recently, the Digital Imam was sacked for blaming the government for failing to protect Nigerians from the hands of bandits
The Clergyman, who spoke to newsmen, said he has no regrets about his sack because it ended up promoting him because he spoke the truth.
“What happened to me is a promotion. They wanted to silence me because I am speaking the truth, the minds of the citizens, but they have ended up promoting me. I have no regrets whatsoever.”
He added “Nigerians are suffering, they don’t have enough resources, things are very hard. Our children are at home because the university lecturers are on strike; most importantly, you cannot move from Kaduna to Abuja because of fear. We have become prisoners of fear and our government is telling us that is the best they can do. And you want Nigerians to accept that? No, Nigerians want a solution.
“May be harsh when speaking but look at the content of the message, not the tone of the message. The message is clear: we want a country free of kidnappings, terrorists and bandits’ attacks. We want a united Nigeria; that is what we are clamouring for.
“If you say this is impossible to have a secured Nigeria, then the present government should apologise and seek forgiveness from Nigerians because it is in their manifestos. They promised security and not to hand us over to terrorists. If we remind them, this should not be a sin.
“In my last sermon, I said if you cannot give us security, we would not vote for you in 2023. It is an indirect message and they understood it because they know what the message means. The message is clear, we will not fold our arms; they know we will not hesitate to vote them out come 2023 if insecurity is not solved.”
