“Religion is a personal choice of an individual. Therefore, nobody can force any religion on anybody. Suicide bombers are going to hell.”
This is the verdict of the Sultan of Sokoto and President General, Nigeria Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs, (NSCIA), Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar III, when he received in audience, today, Wednesday, Innocent Idibia, a musician, popularly called 2Face, in his Palace in Sokoto.
The Sultan insisted that religions abhor killing, stressing that both Islam and Christianity preach peace and love among their faithful.
According to the sultan, no human being can claim to love God without loving his neighbour.
The Sultan advised Idibia to continue to use his talent in promoting peace and peaceful coexistence amongst Nigerian youths.
The monarch admonished youths never to allow selfish preachers and politicians to use them for their selfish reasons.
Idibia had earlier promised to continue to use his talent to promote peace and peaceful coexistence amongst Nigerian youths.
