Senator Shehu Sani recently took to his Twitter handle to share a concerning statement made by his Friday Mosque Imam. According to the Imam, many politicians who had sought his prayers before winning their elections had now stopped picking his calls. Furthermore, those who had lost the election had also ceased sending their financial contributions to the mosque.
This statement raises some serious questions about the role of religion and spirituality in politics. While seeking the blessings and guidance of religious leaders during election campaigns is not uncommon, it is disheartening to see that some politicians forget their promises and commitments after they have won their elections.
It is important to remember that religious institutions have a vital role to play in promoting values such as honesty, integrity, and social responsibility. These values are especially critical in politics, where public trust and confidence are essential for effective governance.
Politicians should not view religious leaders as mere instruments to gain votes, but rather as partners in promoting the well-being of their constituents. They should remain accountable to the promises and commitments made during the election campaigns and ensure that they serve the people with sincerity and dedication.
