NASFAT Urges Politicians to Emulate Prophet Muhammad

The Nasrul-lahi-l-Fatih Society (NASFAT) has called on politicians and public office holders to adopt the leadership principles exemplified by Prophet Muhammad to tackle Nigeria's issues of insecurity, poverty, and corruption. Sheikh Abdul-Azeez Maruf Onike, the Chief Missioner of NASFAT, made these remarks during an event celebrating the birth of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) at the Muslim Community Secretariat Mosque in Alausa, Ikeja, on Tuesday.

He emphasized the importance of accountability, warning that leaders would be held responsible for their actions on the Day of Judgment. Onike criticized the excessive attachment to worldly possessions that leads to moral failures.

Alhaji Ayodeji AbdulWahid AbdulRauf, the President of NASFAT, described the celebration as an opportunity for Nigerians to reflect on the Prophet's legacy and urged citizens to maintain civility during the upcoming 2027 general elections. Imam Uthman Jaji Muhammad also encouraged Muslims to study and emulate the Prophet's teachings for success in this life and the hereafter.
