Sheikh Muhammad – The former Chief Imam of Apo Legislative Quarters Mosque, Sheikh
Muhammad Khalid, has been appointed to lead another Juma’at mosque in Abuja.
This is coming barely 24 hours after the Imam was relieved of his duties by the Apo mosque
committee over a message that criticized the recent administration’s failure to tackle insecurity
in the country. Muhammad Khalid was suspended over a sermon he delivered on Friday, April 1
and was later sacked on Monday, April 4, 2022.
Regardless, the Imam said he paid the “price for the voiceless” and would continue to identify
with the masses. Speaking further, he said:
“My sack is a reflection of how Nigeria is today. Many people are hiding under the cover of
religion to perpetrate all manners of unwholesome acts.
Such people would stop at nothing to take away people like me, who are pro-masses and bold
enough to speak the truth to power always on behalf of voiceless Nigerians.
This is the price we pay for aligning with the people and identifying with their sufferings.
By the Grace of Almighty Allah, I will be leading my new congregation this Friday, because as
clerics we need a platform for operating.
There’s a Jum’mat mosque we built behind the CBN Quarters, in Abuja; I will now be leading
the congregation there.”
The Imam is also the Founder of Islamic Research and Da’awah Foundation.
