Political and religious leaders have a symbiotic relationship, according to social critic and human rights campaigner Aisha Yesufu.
Yesufu argues that whereas political rulers require the populace to remain under their control, religious leaders require poor governance in order to sell inexpensive miracles.
She expressed her opinion on Thursday in a post on her X account.
Yesufu wrote: “I have always told you people that the political rulers and the religious rulers are in a symbiotic relationship.

“The religious rulers need bad governance to sell cheap miracles, while political rulers need the citizens to be kept subjugated.
“On the Muslim side, they will tell you that the suffering here does not matter as your reward is in heaven, so protest is haram. Expect more extremist behaviour from hisbah which will be used to indicate it is because they are trying to establish Islamic ways that things are hard.
“On the Christian side, they will tell you to focus on your personal miracle and not be bothered about government, after all, any government can favour you. Expect more miraculous miracles that defy reasoning from pastors, which will be used to indicate if you focus on your personal miracle you can get more than government can give you.
“As for traditional religions, they always have witches, old people, uncles, and mothers-in-law to blame.”
