The Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammad Abubakar Sa’ad has called on Muslim women in Nigeria to queue behind the ongoing fight against corruption by discouraging their husbands from engaging in graft.
He stated this on Friday at the 30th Anniversary of the Federation of Muslim Women Association in Nigeria, FOMWAN, in Ilorin, the Kwara state capital.
The event was held at the Banquet Hall of the University of Ilorin where various Muslim organisations from Ghana, Ivory Coast and the United Kingdom came to felicitate with the Nigerian branch of FOMWAN.
While pointing out that the change needed in Nigeria should start from home for it to succeed, the Sultan therefore advised the women to always abide by the dictates of Islam, and discourage their husbands from corrupt practices.
Also speaking at the anniversary celebration, Kwara State Governor, Abdulfatah Ahmed told the gathering that ethnic disunity and religious imbalance in the nation could be traced to lack of good leaders.
He then enjoined the women to hand down good morals to their children, for them to be good and responsible leaders of tomorrow.
