Daily Trust reports that Sheikh Sani Yahaya Jingir who is the national chairman of ulama council of the group said those wishing Buhari dead were those afraid of their wrongdoings and were looking for a way out.
He noted that the president will die at his own time as he was human just like every other Nigerian who will eventually die too.
The religious leader said the federal government should urgently buy farm produce from farmers and sell at a subsidized rate to Nigerians to tackle the current hunger in the land.
Jingir said the statements credited to Apostle Johnson Suleman about Fulani herdsmen could cause hatred.
He said: "Any leader irrespective of his religious affiliation making such inciting comment lacks leadership qualities; therefore all religious leaders should be watchful of their statements and should preach peaceful coexistence among Nigerians.”

The cleric also spoke about the Almajiri system of schooling urging Muslim parents to enroll their children in Islamic schools and no the Almajiri own.
He said travelling with teenagers to unknown places by some people in the name of Almajiranci was not the best because many at times those teenagers became victims of child trafficking.
