The Assistant Secretary General of the council, Imam Musa Tanimu, while addressing a press conference on Wednesday, said the aim of the interaction is to guide its members on the need to elect sincere and trustworthy leaders that will govern the state.<\/p><\/div>\n
According to him, the council had earlier drawn the attention of politicians and political agitators to refrain from making statements that might bring disunity among the Muslim ummah and the people at large.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis time, the focus is to inform the public of the council\u2019s intention to have an interactive session with all gubernatorial candidates in the state.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt will be a clarion call to understand their focus and vision for the date and also an opportunity to seek for clarification as the case may be. As stakeholders, the council will continue to ensure only credible candidates are elected so that the state is governed by a sincere and trustworthy person,\u201d Tanimu said.<\/p>\n
He noted that most of their members are Juma\u2019at mosque imams with at least 200 worshippers each.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo they have easy access to the public and getting positive information out will not be difficult by discussing it in their sermon,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
He called on the candidates to come forward and make their vision known to enable the public to decide stressing, \u201cthe council is not taking sides with any candidate but rather, giving opportunity to all.\u201d<\/p>\n
