Hakeem Baba‑Ahmed Highlights Key Outcomes of Northern Muslim Summit!
Reported by David Joshua | www.selemedia.org
Prominent Northern elder Hakeem Baba‑Ahmed has reflected on the recent “Northern Muslim Summit” held in Kaduna, calling it a significant gesture toward strengthening unity among the region’s diverse Muslim communities. [1]
The summit brought together Ulama, community leaders and affiliated organisations from across the North — many of whom have previously been divided along sectarian, regional or ideological lines. Their gathering marked one of the most inclusive meetings of its kind in recent years. [1]
Key outcomes cited by Baba‑Ahmed:
- A communique affirming that Muslim unity is non‑negotiable, alongside pledges to curb misuse of social media that fosters division. [1]
- A call for governments to address insecurity and economic hardship in predominantly Muslim communities, emphasizing justice and reconciliation. [1]
- Condemnation of “deviant ideologies” and affirmation of traditional Islamic scholarship as a tool to counter radicalisation. [1]
- Baba‑Ahmed noted that the summit’s timing is significant, given the increasing discussion around the 2027 elections and the perceived drift between Northern Muslims and the federal government. He urged that religious leadership must avoid being drawn into partisan politics and instead focus on moral authority and community stability. [1]
The gathering has since sparked commentary across Northern media circles about the role of faith‑based leadership in Nigeria’s evolving political and security landscape. Baba‑Ahmed concluded that the summit could represent a turning‑point—but only if meaningful follow‑through is achieved.
