Former Governor Sule Lamido of Jigawa State has expressed his concern over the growing influence of religious leaders in Nigeria’s politic.
According to the former Governor, he said religious leaders now have control over voters and electoral processes.
Lamido, stated this in a recent video circulating on social media.
He said; “Despite the blessings of being religious leaders, clerics are now struggling for power.”
“Clerics are supposed to be guardians to politicians, but since they want power, we politicians have decided to step aside and watch.”
“We are waiting for them to tell us who to vote for based on their wishes. For equity and justice, everyone ought to maintain their status in society.”
“Just as political parties are plagued by internal crises, religious sects also face divisions. Nigeria’s political landscape will remain chaotic unless unity is restored.”
