Renowned Islamic Scholar, Sheikh Dahiru Usman Bauchi has refuted reports that he is a member of the Elders’ Forum of the Goodluck Support Group (GSG), saying he is unaware of his involvement in such a political organisation.
Denouncing his membership of the 44-man Goodluck Support Group at his Bauchi residence, Sheikh Usman said nobody ever contacted him as to whether or not he wanted to be part of the group.
It would be recalled that the 44-man Goodluck Support Group recently inaugurated in Abuja had the name of Sheikh Dahiru Usman included as reported by some national dailies.

Bauchi who wondered how his name was smuggled into the membership of the group without his consent queried, “I don’t know what the person that put my name into the membership of the body want to achieve”.
“To God, I confess I’m not part of the membership of Elders’ Forum of the Goodluck Support Group as recently reported by the media”, the Sheikh told newsmen in Bauchi yesterday.
He however attributed the inclusion of his name into the membership of the Goodluck Support Group to the architect of those who have already dented their image but want to re-brand same by all means possible. Usman explained that he is not a politician and could therefore not involve himself in such a partisan political organisation, saying Allah will arbitrate between him and whoever dragged his name into the group.
On insecurity bedeviling the country, the Sheikh attributed the whole issue on bad leadership noting, “Whatever befalls us is our own handiwork”.
He therefore urged Nigerians to atone from their bad deeds by seeking for Allah’s forgiveness and pray for the salvation of the country from the mounting challenges of insecurity, abject poverty, education bastardization, and other social vices that retard national progress, growth and development.
