WE ALL SING THE SAME SONG IN DIFFERENT WAYS

“We don’t see things the way they are. We see them the way we are. Just like the change we are clamoring for in Nigeria. It sounds the same but what it means to politicians, religious bodies and others is entirely different.”
These are the statements made yesterday by the National President of Jama’at Ta’awunil Muslimeen in Agege, at a lecture organized by one of the branches of the organisation in Lagos State. He said the politicians calling for change wanted their party to be in position of authority, the Muslims, asking for change are dreaming of unbiased government that would respect the rights of Muslims and protect their interest while other Nigerians are looking for a nation that her resources would not be mismanaged.
“Muslims are more concerned with change because we know its implication if it didn’t occur. By now they would have returned the schools back to the missionaries especially in Osun and they might have even succeeded in removing Aregbesola from office. In facts religious crisis would have ensued everywhere in Nigeria. That was why in our places of work, mosque and everywhere we went to, we sang the song, change. But now is only Buhari that has changed, things are still the same” he stressed.
He further explained that the way we think is not the way they think. “what we think they should do is not what they will do. What we want Buhari to do for Islam just like what Jonathan did for Christians is not what he will do. If he had intention of doing that he would not become Nigeria President and the country like America wouldn’t have given him back up. But being a Muslim is a plus, is only that nothing much should be expected from him because the system will never provide the change we want” he elucidated.
He then called on Muslims to be more prayerful for the progress of Islam in Nigeria
