“The decision was taken out of the inciting Friday sermon you delivered on April 1st, 2022; where you advised people not to vote come 2023 general elections unless politicians respond to some critical questions.
“You should have advised them to vote out those that transgress the Almighty and breach people’s social contract as well as the state.”
Responding, Imam Khalid wrote;
“God is the most powerful. He gives (enthrones) and takes away power (dethrones) from whomever He wishes”.
“Oh God! the master of sovereignty, you give sovereignty to whom you please, and seize sovereignty from whom you please, you honour whom you please and you abase whom you please, all good is in your hands, indeed you have power over all things.”
He urged Nigerians not to relent in praying for the country and its leaders.
