The Supreme Council for Sharia in Nigeria (SCSN) has commended President Bola Tinubu for his decisive actions during a meeting in Abuja.
The council’s vice-president, Bashir Umar, praised Tinubu for his hard decisions and urged him to address the economic challenges faced by Nigerians.
Umar emphasized the need for quick measures to mitigate economic hardships and tackle insecurity, urging Tinubu to utilize all available resources for food security.
Umar said the same faith ticket on which Tinubu rode to victory in the 2023 polls has “fallen short of expectations”.
He said: “We request that he expedite action to cushion the effect of the hard economic decisions that were taken and also to request that he brings out everything that is in the arsenal to face the problem of insecurity and to also achieve food security.
“We are here today as a courtesy call to the president and to show our solidarity and commendation for the hard decisions he is taking for the country.
“We also submitted to him, the communique of our just concluded conference which brought about Islamic scholars and academics, intellectuals and civil society organisations to make a post mortem of 2023 elections in order to create a consensus and the way forward.”
The SCSN delegation led by its President, Sheikh Abdur-Rasheed Hadiyyatullah, at the State House Council Chambers presented the communique of their recent conference on the 2023 elections to President Tinubu, discussing ways to create a consensus and plan for the future.
