The Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammadu Abubakar, on Tuesday, said women should not share inheritance equally with men.
He also lauded the Federal Government and the Nigerian Army for the capture of the Sambisa Forest from Boko Haram terrorists.
The Sultan made the commendation in
Gusau at the closing ceremony of the 20th Zamfara State annual Qur’anic
recitation competition.
In his words, “We are happy to hear this good news. We
are, therefore, calling on the Nigerian Army not to relent in its
efforts in combating Boko Haram,”
The traditional ruler added: “Our religion is our
total way of life; therefore, we will not accept any move to change what
Allah permitted us to do".
“Islam is a peaceful religion; we have
been living peacefully with Christians and followers of other religions
in this country. Therefore, we should be allowed to perform our religion
effectively.”
He called on the senate to not consider the bill proposing equality between male and female in sharing of inherited properties because of its religious implications.
