\nthe Speaker House of Representatives, Hon Yakubu Dogara in Saturday\u2019s
\nNational Assembly elections.<\/p>\n
Speaking in Bauchi when the Speaker paid him a visit at the his residence,
\nSheikh Dahiru Bauchi called on the people of Bauchi state to reject
\npoliticians who use religion to divide them.<\/p>\n
He said Hon Dogara\u2019s track records of religious tolerance, peace building
\nand worthy representation speak for themselves and he should be encouraged
\nto do even more.<\/p>\n
He noted that the Speaker has done remarkably well in bringing dividends
\nof democracy to his constituency, Bauchi state and the north east region,
\nhence the need for the people to reciprocate it by re-electing him on
\nSaturday.<\/p>\n
He told his followers that\u00a0 “it will be more preferable to vote for a
\nChristian than a member of the Izala Movement who does not see or regard
\nmembers of Tijjaniya sect as Muslims.\u201d<\/p>\n
He however said, \u201cBoth Darika and Izala are under the umbrella of Islam,
\nour religion, but the person they are imposing on the people is the same
\nman who is well known in insulting our renown scholars, elders, and yet he
\nis calling himself a Muslim. It is like a direct insult to my father,
\nmother, scholars, mentors and\u00a0 spiritual leaders and we’ll never support
\nsuch person.<\/p>\n
Sheik Dahiru Bauchi also offered special prayers for the success of the
\nspeaker in the election and also prayed for the continued peace and unity

\nstate, stating that the number will keep increasing unless the people
\nelect a government that truly cares about uplifting the standard of
\neducation in the state.<\/p>\n
He warned that if care is not taken, the number of out of school children
\nmay reach five million in the next few years which portends great danger
\nto the society.<\/p>\n
