Quran, solution to corruption in Nigeria - Sultan of Sokoto

The Sultan of Sokoto, Mohammed Abubakar III, has stated that the Quran has what it takes to help Nigeria in the issue of corruption.

The Sultan disclosed this in Lagos while speaking at the 34th National Quranic Recitation Competition.

”If we work with the Quran, there will be no issue of corruption,” Abubakar said.

Lagos State governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu who also spoke during the event, stated that the Quranic recitation programme will help make people understand the true tenets of Islam.

”It will go a long way towards inculcating, in the adherents of Islamic faith, the habit of reciting the Quran for a proper understanding of the words of God contained in it.”

He also promised that his government will protect the right of people to practice their religion in Lagos.

”As a government, we will continue to protect the right of every citizen to practise every religion of their choice without fear of harassment or discrimination,” he said.
