“Senator Abiru is known for his generosity. While his primary role is to legislate, he goes beyond that to support the people. I encourage him and his colleagues to do more for society.”
He emphasized the need to institutionalize charity, ensuring that governance is used as a tool for uplifting communities.
“We should stop individualizing charity and make it a part of governance. Public office is a trust, and leaders must use it to serve the people.”
Prof. Onibon also linked global crises to spiritual disconnection, stressing that economic, moral, and social issues arise from people’s deviation from divine guidance.
“The world is in turmoil because we have turned away from Almighty Allah. If we abandon Him, He will leave us to our own devices.”
He warned that neglecting faith has severe consequences.
