| Sultan of Sokoto |
President
General of Ja’amatu Nasril Islam (JNI), Sultan of Sokoto , His Eminence Alhaji
Muhammadu Sa’ad Abubakar, has urged Christians and Muslims in Nigeria to maintain
peace and unity with each other
He said this at the
commissioning of the International Centre for Interfaith, Peace and Harmony
(ICIPH) in Kaduna.
“No country survives
war or war stimulated by religious intolerance,” he said, adding that the
practice of religion should be voluntary and not by force.
“We have seen
countries where people are killing one another; obviously there can be no peace
in such countries. Killing is not part of the teachings of the holy book.
“Nigeria has a Muslim
president and before him was a Christian president. We must see ourselves as
one big family, without that, we cannot have peace.
“It is not possible to
Islamize Nigeria. We must respect one another and understand the tenets of the
two religions,” the Sultan appealed.
