It would be recalled that Sheik Muhammad Nuru Khalid was the Chief Imam of Apo Legislative Quarters Juma’at Mosque in the Federal Capital Territory before his suspension on 2nd April, 2022 by the mosque’s committee, following his criticism of APC government over the state of insecurity in the country. He was later sacked by the mosque for failure to show remorse after the suspension.
The National Chairman also assured that the party’s door was opened to all patriotic Nigerians who are not afraid to work towards a New Nigeria.
Sheik Muhammad Nuru Khalid (Digital Imam) thanked the delegates for their unexpected visit, and remarked that no one needs praises for doing what every human should do. He observed that security and basic amenities are not gender, tribe or religion sensitive; every Nigeria is in need of these amenities and we must always hold the government accountable. He requested that the party keeps its door open for him, whenever he wants to come in.
