It is against this backdrop that the Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia and the National Security Minister expressed concern last month when Dame was reported on social media to have made comments on the succession of the National Chief Imam. I do not have Facebook account, I do not have a Twitter account so I was quite surprised. The Chief Imam is leader of the Tijaniyya and also of all Muslims according to government. An official of Sharubutu’s office, spoke extensively about how the succession plan is laid out in the event that the Imam is unavailable. But Dame stressed in later comments: “I would like to assure the National chief Imam, that the government does not involve itself in determining who the head of any mission or any faith is in the country.
