The Otaru of Auchi Kingdom and Edo state chairman of the Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (SCIA) His Royal Highness, Alhaji Aliru Momoh, the Ikelebe III, has warned that he will not hesitate to lead a spiritual Jihad against the Nigeria Senate should they enact an inheritance sharing law.
The monarch gave the warning yesterday at the 20th edition of the Annual Auchi Day Celebration of Allah Most High where he said the country is peaceful because it was Allah’s will that Retired General Muhammadu Buhari be President adding that it is been manifested in his fight against corruption and terrorism.
According to the revered Otaru, the issue of inheritance sharing is a serious issue and has been stipulated in the Holy Quran and as such lead to a peaceful society over the years. He warned that the inheritance sharing in the Quran was given by inspiration and only spiritually can it be understood.
He said, “It is the Quran that specify how you share inheritance and we have had peace in this community regarding how you share inheritance. If anything, I believe it is a joke but if it is not, i will lead a Spiritual Jihad against the Senate if they should order the altercation of the Quran. A lot of us we are in a specific position to do what we like but those positions are limited in the sense that our body as human can’t access as a slave of the almighty.
“I have been on the issue of inspiration because when human beings are given spiritual favour they do a lot of things that they don’t know about doing.
He said following his spiritual Odyssey on President Muhammadu Buhari since he indicated interest to run for the Presidency, “I came to the conclusion the Buhari is one of the few individuals that can be shown to the world under any circumstance. Some people who said they saw Buhari die; they should wait what will happen to them.
He continued, “Let us not deceive ourselves; the issue of Inheritance is a clear matter. Nigeria is at peace, it means that therefore it is gradually coming down to us and nobody can take it either as an individual or a group can disturb this country because the man that is ruling now is the one that God has given his mandate. But we have seen countries that are been destroyed because they have rejected Almighty God whether Christian or Muslim Community.
“Let me say again that nobody should touch the inheritance that is given to us by God himself otherwise problem and problem will come”. He stated.
On his part, Governor Godwin Obaseki who was represented by the Chairman of Edo state Board of Internal Revenue Service, Chief Oseni Elamah said Auchi Kingdom remain his formidable political base and as such will do all within his will to satisfy the yearnings of the people.
He said Auchi Kingdom has become an example other communities where Community Development Associations have turned themselves to land men of speculators should learn from on how to take care of God given gifts.
Obaseki said the pronouncement banning all forms of tax levies collection by people other than government officials remain in force.
The colourful ceremony which featured various traditional dances, wrestling match and a tug of war between youths from the community and men of the Nigerian Army had traditional rulers from the area including the Otaru of Igarra, Oba Adeche Saiki.
Others included the representative of the Oba of Benin, Oba Ewuare II, national leader of the All Progressives Congress, Prince Tony Momoh, Speaker of the state house of assembly, Justin Okonobo, former speaker of the house, Zakawanu Garuba, Senator Francies Alimekhena and others.
