This announcement was made during a two-day congress held in Abuja to assess the aftermath of the 2023 presidential election. Nafiu Baba Ahmed, the Secretary-General of the council, informed reporters that the meeting aimed to provide a platform for scholars and various sects to voice their grievances arising from the recent election.
He said, “We were in the vanguard of mobilising scholars, various sects, and Islamic groups to bring this government to power. But the scholars and various groups feel neglected, accusing the government of turning its back on Muslims, despite voting in the Muslim-Muslim ticket.”
