Malam Gwarzo said that Ulama in the country would always pray for Allah’s intervention on the survival of democracy in the country.
The scholar explained that as much as Nigerians want democracy to succeed they should not overheat the polity to ensure its success urging the Independent National Electoral Commission INEC and the security agencies to ensure free and fair election in 2007 polls.
