The Federation of Muslim Women’s Associations in Nigeria (FOMWAN) has blamed the persistent rise in food prices in the country on Nigeria’s deviation away from the teachings of Allah (God).
The women expressed their concerns on Sunday in a communique issued at the end of their 39th annual national conference held in Akure, Ondo state capital.
“These challenges are as a result of our deviation from Allah’s injunction that when the community engages in corruption, Allah has promised that it would be visited with famine and insecurity,” an excerpt from the communique obtained by Peoples Gazette read in part.
In the copy of the communique jointly signed by its national Amirah, Rafiah Sani, and the national public relations officer, Maimuna Momodu, the group said Allah (God) is not happy with the situation amid the hunger in the land hence the famine currently bedevilling the country.
The association also attributed the situation, which has led to widespread hunger and eliciting discontent among the citizenry with protests in the major cities of the country, to corruption.
