Dr. Majeed Dahiru, a public affairs analyst, called for strong government intervention against the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs during an interview on Nigeria Info FM, responding to the council’s demand that US President Donald Trump withdraw his recent comments describing Nigeria as a disgraced country.
Dahiru criticized what he sees as the president’s inadequate response. “The president should sit up and stop playing politics with the lives of Nigerians,” he stated.
The analyst outlined what he believes should have been the government’s immediate action. “By this morning, I should have expected that they should have called in the officials of the Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs for questioning by security agencies, and that should include the Sultan himself,” Dahiru said.
He highlighted what he characterized as a contradiction in messaging. “The federal government cannot be making conciliatory statements towards the international community, and they are here making provocative statements asking Trump to write a retraction. How do you reconcile that?” the analyst asked.
Dahiru called for firm government intervention. “They need to be reined in. They need to be cautioned,” he stated.
The public affairs analyst then issued a specific demand regarding the Sultan of Sokoto. “I think Sultan should be given a stern warning never to make a statement again on national security. If he doesn’t have anything to say, let him keep his mouth shut through his Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs,” Dahiru said.
He concluded emphatically: “This nonsense must not continue.”
