An ex-aide to President Muhammadu Buhari, Bashir Ahmad, has reacted to a recent music video shared by popular Nigerian singer, David Adeleke, aka Davido. Recall that Davido, in a post on his official Twitter account yesterday shared a video released by his new signee. In the video, the signee was seen sitting on a building that has the semblance of a mosque. In the first scenes of the video men portrayed as Muslims were seen praying in front of the building. Then some of them started dancing immediately after the prayer was concluded.
The video generated outrage from many Nigerian Muslims including Bashir Ahmad. Reacting to the video, Bashir stated that there are many reasons Muslims find the video disrespectful and irritating. He said Muslims hold Salah as sacred worship and the second pillar of Islam. Hence, they don’t joke about it in any way. He then advised the singer to take down the video and apologise to the entire Muslims.
“There are many reasons why every Muslim finds this content absolutely disrespectful, hurtful and offensive Davido. I assume you all know that we Muslims don’t mix our religion with jokes in any way, especially Salah (prayer), which is sacred and the second of the five pillars of Islam.” He wrote.
