Sultan of Sokoto and President Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA), Alhaji Muhammad Saad Abubakar, has advised Muslim women not to support their husbands in corruption.
Speaking yesterday, August 29, in Ilorin, Kwara state capital during the formal opening of the 30th annual national conference of Federation of Muslim Women’s Association of Nigeria (FOMWAN), Abubakar told the women to reject stolen public money from their husbands who are public office holders.
According to the Sultan, most of the challenges the country is facing starts from the home, This Day reports.
He said: “If Nigeria is to see the change its citizens have been yearning for, women must start the crusade against corruption right from home. Nigerians must be ready to be the change they voted for during the last presidential election. Women must discuss corruption and ask questions from their husbands about their ill-gotten wealth especially from those who are public office holders.
“If you notice that your husbands, few months after becoming public officers, started buying exotic cars, building houses all over the place, ask questions on the source of that sudden wealth.
As women, you must add your voice to issues affecting our country, formulate policies where anyone seeking public office must listen to you even if they don’t like it.”
