IMPLICATION OF NOT VOTING WITH SINCERITY 

By: ‎Abd'hakeem Adeoye

An Islamic Scholar, Ustaz Abdulhakeem Thanni, has ‎appealed to all eligible 
voters especially Muslims to vote with sincerity during elections.
‎
Ustaz Thanni said this during a discussion segment on a radio programme, 
MSSNLagos HALF HOUR, on Star FM 101.5 between 8:30am-9am.
‎
The programme, which usually holds every Saturday, had 'Islam versus Democracy: The views on Leadership', as its last episode's topic.
‎
‎Thanni alerted voters that they would account for all their deeds on the day of 
judgement, including how they exercised their voting right.
‎‎
‎The scholar also ‎advised Muslims to ensure that they participate in the forth-coming February election.‎
‎
“It is a way of changing evil and setting uprightness to the Nigerian society‎.
Voting according to Islam is testifying that an individual is trusted and reliable," he added. ‎

‎
He explained there are some practices in democracy that have firm root in Islam and emphasised that laws made by Allah are supreme.‎
‎
He said, “Representation, voting, leadership, freedom of religion, freedom of 
expression among others are identified and supported by the Quran and hadith. On the other hand, favourism, personal interest, making of laws which 
democracy recognize are not in the religion."‎

‎
The scholar added that  ‎participation of competent and trusted Muslims in 
democracy was imperative to rescuing Nigeria out of its crumbling society.

He quoted Prophet Muhammed(SAW) ‎ as saying, "If any of you sees something 
wrong, let him change it with his hand; if he cannot, then with his tongue; if 
he cannot, then with his heart and this is the weakest faith."‎

   Contrary to our story on Friday, that eight politicians were allegedly drugged and abducted in Lagos, the true story is that nobody was drugged or abducted. The politicians, during a news conference at the Bariga Local Council Development Area of Lagos State at the weekend, said they were not kidnapped as was thought by the police and the public. Speaking on behalf of the others, at the briefing, Mr. Jimoh Ajibola, Chairman Ward A, Bariga LCDA, said it was carbon monoxide from the exhaust pipe that was broken and kept inside the vehicle they were driving in that led to their drowsiness. According to Ajibola, they had gone to AM To PM Hotel at Ibafo, Ogun State, where they were supposed to have a meeting with the Chairman of Bariga LCDA, Akeem Sulaimon, on the way forward for grassroots politics in the area.
