PEGASUS REPORTERS | AUGUST 23, 2021

I wish to refer to the above subject matter, and to offer my Islamic spiritual verdict as follows!

In Islam, except for official assignments and undertakings associated with discharging its functional governance, no leader is authorized to sign out any amount of money for any other thing, except for operational upkeep and social welfare for the subjects, whose well being is the most important role expected to be fulfilled by the leader.

It’s also highly recommended that no leader should touch a dime from the Treasury, since such an act is synonymous with theft of public funds.

An interesting narrative about the virtuous example of Umar bn Khatabb, who is so sensitive about Allah’s wrath for such transgression and abuse of public trust will suffice here.

The narration has it that if a person honors him with a private visit in his home during the night, he was always said to keep alternatingly switching from his personal lantern to his Official brand, in that order, depending on which assignment, or key task he’s billed to undertake, in that sequential order of succession, because, any breach of the spiritually-guided ethical rules is tantamount to corrupt practices and abuse of public trust, or cheating!

In conclusion, Islam is against any leader taking any form of ownership of public finds, or properties and assets entrusted to him or her; and the punishment for any violation is very drastic, both on here on earth and in the hereafter.

Therefore, by the Islamic standard judicial system, the Kaduna State Governor is required to refund all the total costs incurred, et al, during the event, please!

For the avoidance of any doubts, let’s take note that Islamic rules are not bendable or manipulative like other man-made or Adhoc variants, please!
