The embattled Chief Imam of Apo Legislative Quarters Mosque in Abuja, Shiekh Nuru Khalid, who was suspended over a sermon considered to be “anti-government” has spoken again following his silence for long hours after suspension.
Khalid, who is also known as Digital Imam, in a post written in Arabic, said “God is the most powerful. He gives (enthrones) and takes away power (dethrones) from whomever He wishes”.
The Imam said this a few hours after reports that he had been suspended as the Chief Imam of Apo Legislative Quarters Mosque by the committee that manages the affairs of the worship centre.
It was gathered that the message was similar to the content of the letter written by Sanusi Lamido II when he was dethroned as the Emir of Kano.
In his words, He said, “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.”
The Imam also urged Nigerians not to relent in praying for the nation, Nigeria and its leaders.
The mosque committee of Apo legislative quarters, Abuja, had suspended Khalid over a Jumu’ah sermon he delivered on Friday, April 1.
