Former President Buhari’s ex-Media Aide, Bashir Ahmad, recently voiced strong disapproval in response to a music video shared by Nigerian artist Davido on his Twitter account.
Yesterday, Davido shared a music video clip with the caption, “Allow me to re-introduce, @logosolori with his new single “Jaye Lo”… Lets Run It Up one time! Let’s take over the world 🌎!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 We Litty 🚀🚀🚀 https://t.co/gNeUjmrEp9”
The videos shows a congregation of muslims in white praying, with the song playing background. Then the muslims rise up to start dancing.
Taking to his own Twitter handle, Bashir expressed concerns about the content, particularly as it pertains to the Muslim community.
In his tweet, Bashir highlighted the significance of Salat in Islam, emphasizing its deeply revered nature as a practice where Muslims remember and express their love, respect, and gratitude towards Allah. He urged Davido to show respect for this sacred aspect of Islam.
He wrote: “There are many reasons why every Muslim finds this content absolutely disrespectful, hurtful, and offensive, @davido. I assume you all know that we Muslims don’t mix our religion with jokes in any way, especially Salah (prayer), which is sacred and the second of the five pillars of Islam.”
Furthermore, the former Media Aide made it clear that no Muslim would consider the content “as an honor or acceptable,” stressing the importance of sensitivity and respect when touching upon religious matters.
