Anti-govt sermon: Abuja Imam now sacked -Mosque committee - Punch Newspapers

The committee also described the cleric’s stand as “un-Islamic”.

Part of Khalid’s sack letter obtained by our correspondent read, “We regret to inform you that from today, April 4, 2022, you have been disengaged from the services of the mosque. This action is occasioned by the non-remorseful attitude you exhibited following your suspension on April 2. “Akamakallah, you know better than me by the teaching of Islam, the essence of administering punishment is to correct behavior. Unfortunately, your media reaction to the suspension creates the impression that you are not remorseful, NOT to talk of humbly reflecting on the consequences of your utterances.

“Leadership demands a great sense of responsibility. If our words do more harm than good to the larger interest of the country or the public. We have a responsibility to maximize restraint for the good of the public. It is obvious, however, that you don’t seem keen to modify your Friday sermon to be reflective of the volatility of the security situation in the country.

“You are an influencer; your words carry a lot of weight, and your words can make or mar our situation. Your words can be taken advantage of by mischief makers, those responsible for these security challenges or enemies of the country for their devilish agendas. As leaders of the mosque, we have a sacred responsibility to avoid utterances that are capable of making a bad situation worse. This is our fear and concern.”All rights reserved.

They can sack him today but I know vividly that his God (Allah) will never sack him because he was telling them the truth and definitely truth shall prevail. Their time will soon come that Allah will sack all the bad people in Government destabilizing the country.

Wish I can buy Ramadan gift for this Man but my pocket no gree..this the Kinda Man we need not those deceitful,liers we have on our religious places .God bless you imam you have proven that not all Muslim are Terrorist

Sir keep speaking the truth. People that hate the truth will always fight against it but you have been vindicated.

Sheikh Gumi is not sacked because he’s Sheik for the bandits, Boko haram and Fulani herdsmen. We all know that Buhari and his government are terrorist government. Any attack on insecurity, Bandits, Boko haram, Fulani herdsmen are considered as attack on Buhari.

The mosque committee is anti progress.

Very soon revolution will take place sure

Imagine sacking someone that stands for truth, just Imagine tomorrow now one of them will come out to say that Democracy is working in Nigeria 🇳🇬

Is the committee the government that his truth taste bitter in their mouth. We need to wise up jhoor.

Seriously his sacking is to distract us from the train killings and kidnappings, we are suppose to get use to Nigerian politics when there is a serious problem the will just bring in something that is irrelevant. What flesh did his truth pulled from the government.

A very good decision 🙏🙏🙏

Nigerian Leaders God is watching. If anyone talk to you people, you go after him,arrest /detain, sack, suspend and so on. Hmmm, remember, Judgment is waiting you all someday. May God give us Omoyele Sowore for president. Amen!

Please , We ( Love ) You - For Speaking The - ( TRUTH ) , Against The Selected Group Of ( Terrorist's ) Leader's In Nigeria & Remain Bless ,- Sir ( SHEIKH AHMED KHALID ) ,

Not anti-government, but anti-buhari, this people are trying everything possible to turn Buhari into an object of worship, the same people that criticized Gej and put his image in a casket

Um, they sack Imam too, Mbaka was sacked and asked to close down Adoration after criticizing government, Next will be native doctor.

This county na wa ooo, if you say the truth you are thrown out. If you LIA the rub your head. Like Sheikh Gumi. Our table shakers should please keep shaking the table Pastor E A Adeboye Sheikh Muhammad Khalid

We all need to speak against bad governance. There is no need of pretending, Nigeria is not safe again, all thanks to APC and PDP. There is no opposition to checkmate politicians again, that's why you need to support & follow AGreatNigeria3 to end bad governance in Nigeria.

Just a matter of time Nigeria will happen to them

They are good at oppressing the weak and protecting the bully. Terrible leaders.

Good name is better than gold and silver! Posterity has a place for your brevery

They will suffer the consequences of their actions. Keep on praying daddy!
