Ahmed told the News Agency of Nigeria ( NAN) in Sokoto on Wednesday that the President needs the support and cooperation of all Nigerians to enable him succeed.

"We should all rise up and support the military with intelligence reports that will flush out the members of the sects for prosecution, "he said.

The lawyer said that it is only when Nigerians come together, and speak with one voice and as a family that things will get better.

Ahmed also appealed to religious leaders to limit their preaching according to the teaching of the two major Holy Books - Qur'an and Bible. According to him, adherence to that will promote peace, progress and political stability in the country.
