Alhaji Nasiru Danladi Abubakar, chieftain of the New Nigeria People's Party (NNPP), has stated that Ayatollah Ruhullah Khomeini's Islamic Revolution in Iran demonstrated the civilization of Islam, describing the Islamic Republic as a shield for the oppressed against imperialism.

Why It Matters:
In 1979, the people of Iran under the leadership of the late Imam Khomeini overthrew Iran's Shah with a revolution that paved the way for other people across the world to stand and revolt against Western imperialism and injustice.

 

What He Is Saying:
"During the regime of Shah, Iran had no development. Some people consider Iran as a state of America.  American states were developing and progressing while Iran had nothing to show. Now Iranians do not need others," he emphasized.

 
Key Points:

  • Islam is the solution and protector for the oppressed nations in the world from imperialism and oppression of America and the West.
  •  the whole world especially Islamic countries has become aware and awakened due to the Iranians' Islamic revolution.
  • If the revolution had not been founded on genuine Islamic principles, it likely would not have survived.
  • Despite Western sanctions, the Islamic Republic is still developing.
  • The world has come to understand that Islam is the religion of progress and civilization.
