Sultan Bello Mosque Kaduna: Destroying Sardauna’s legacy

To begin with, it is indisputable that the Jama’atu Nasir Islam (JNI) was the brain-child of Sheik Abubakar Mahmud Gumi supported by the bold disposition of Sardauna by then, the envy of Northern traditional establishments. We have seen this in the biography of Mallam titled Where I Stand.

For the same establishments to come round in later days to claim ownership of the mosque, which they did not help to build is to say the least unbecoming. Where were these establishments when Sardauna and Mallam were shuttling from Nigeria to Saudi Arabia looking for grants to build this mosque and other mosques around Northern Nigeria?

And the pertinent question to ask here is: are our traditional establishments after the physical buildings or the ummah? Why are they inordinately chasing the destruction of a legacy that has come to stay?
