Following reports in some quarters that the Islamic Movement of Nigeria, IMN has concluded plans to sabotage the forthcoming elections in some states where its members are being detained, a leader of the group in Sokoto state, Dr. Abdullahi Zango has come out to debunk the said report.
The group, has also made it clear that it has not endorsed any of the presidential candidate for the February 16th election.
Dr. Zango made this position of the group known in Sokoto state while speaking at the one year anniversary of the death of their national leaders, Kassim Umar, insisting that, contrwry to speculations, the IMN was not planning to disrupt the polls.
The rumour, according to Dr. Zango, was orchestrated by desperate politicians who want to get into elective position by all means.
“They said we are planning to attack prisons where our members are being detained during the election period which is not true".
“We have no such plan. We never did it in the past and we will not do it now because we are known to be very peaceful", Abdullahi Zango said.
Zango said the movement, under the leadership of Sheikh Ibraheem El-Zakzaky, had no preferred candidate in the elections despite the fact that some of them would go out and vote during the election.
