Re-strategize approach in addressing hardship – Group tells Tinubu

The Katsina State chapter of the Jama’atu Izalatil Bid’ah Wa Iqamatus Sunnah, JIBWIS, has called on President Bola Tinubu to re-strategize his approach to addressing the economic hardship in the country.
The leader of the Islamic sect in the state, Sheikh Yakubu Musa-Hassan, made the call on Wednesday in Katsina during an interactive session with journalists.
He also urged protesters to shun such an act, as it was not the best, considering the existing security situation in some parts of the country, urging them to rather embark on a national prayer.
Musa-Hassan further gave an example with the incident of vandalism, stealing, and killing as a result of the protests as the reason they have called on the youths to sheath their swords.
He, therefore, called on parents to always call their children to order, so as to avoid their involvement in such nefarious acts.
“The protests should serve as a lesson to the state Governors and Tinubu, to re-strategize their approaches in addressing the dire economic situation in the country.
“Tinubu should adopt the follow-up method in ensuring that whatever support he released to be shared to the people reaches those that are in dire need of it, but not to be shared to politicians.
“Many people were not aware of such financial and food support from the Federal Government, therefore, the president should re-strategize.
“Giving food and money to those in need is not enough, the government should teach the youths entrepreneurship for them to be self-reliant,” the cleric said.
Musa-Hassan called on those that the Federal Government saddled with the responsibility of sharing such largesse with the public to fear Allah and deliver it to the people it was meant for.
According to him, failure to do so, they should await the punishment from Allah on the judgment day, where they have nothing to pay with, except their little good deeds.
He also responded to social media reports alleging that JIBWIS was given the Federal Government’s rice for distribution to people, saying “I have never seen a single bag of such rice.
