This admonition was contained a statement at the end of the National executive committee meeting of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat which held recently at its headquarters in Lagos.

According to the (Amir) Head of the Islamic organisation, Dr Mashuud Adenrele Fasola , “We admonish that the incoming regime should stand firm in the pursuit of truth, social justice and fairplay, probity, transparency, accountability, security of life and property, in the combat of insurgency, barbarism, and violation of human rights, and in the eradication of poverty and promotion of welfare for the generality of all without any discrimination whatsoever in all sincerity and in principle and practice.”

The Ahmadiyya Muslim community in Nigeria believed that this is the only way to enjoy the protection, favour and special blessings of God of all creation.
