I will always say this, history will vindicate Mallam Nasir El-Rufai. Let me refresh your memory about El-Rufai’s “Preaching Regulation Bill” in Kaduna, the same bill that turned him into an enemy of many pastors and Muslim clerics, simply because he dared to confront the truth, that unqualified preachers were gradually taking over the pulpit, a danger to the peace and future of our society.
Today we see the results, we are witnessing Sheikhs get on the pulpit and TV stations to plead the case of terrorists and bandits who have killed, raped, kidnapped, and robbed millions of innocent Nigerians.
Also, pastors who stand before their congregations and tell them that their Muslim neighbors are their enemies, conveniently ignoring the fact that those same neighbors are also victims of the same violence and chaos.
Sadly, many followers of these clerics, both Muslim and Christian, take every word that comes out of their mouths as sacred, forgetting that most of what they hear is merely human opinion, not divine truth, therefore blind loyalty continues to deepen division and spread hatred among people who should be united by shared pain and humanity.
Indeed, history will remain friendly to Mallam Nasir El-Rufai.
