He further called on the Nigerian citizenry that as the February 2015 poll was fast approaching; voters should be wise while electing who would sincerely represent them at all levels.
In furtherance of that, Aliyu urged Muslims across the country to hugely engaged in the Holy Qur’anic recitation just as he said, regular recitation of the glorious Qur’an would help to wipe away the current security challenges as well as other societal problems, adding that people should at all the times have respect for the Holy Qur’an.
