Buhari would continue to be chastised by Nigerian imams.
Senator Dansadau comes from Zamfara state in northwestern Nigeria, which has been plagued by bandit raids that have killed hundreds of people, a fact that the Sheikh is well aware of.

An Islamic cleric who was fired for criticizing President Muhammadu Buhari told the BBC that he would stop talking about the country's insecurity if the government addressed the issue.
Sheikh Muhammad Khalid, the Imam of the Apo Legislative Quarters Mosque in Abuja's important Apo neighborhood, was suspended last Friday for lamenting insecurity across the country and what he called a collective leadership failure, particularly from President Muhammadu Buhari.
"You have been granted four years plus one year, yet people are dying like fowls, and killing is becoming the norm in Nigeria under your watch, Mr.... President," he remarked.
The mosque committee suspended him following his lecture, which came just days after armed men stormed the Kaduna-Abuja train, killing at least eight people and kidnapping others.
Senator Sa'idu Dansadau, the mosque committee's head, told the BBC that he had spoken to the imam about his preaching multiple times, but that his most recent sermon was similar to tossing gasoline on the fire.
Senator Dansadau comes from Zamfara state in northwestern Nigeria, which has been plagued by bandit raids that have killed hundreds of people, a fact that the Sheikh is well aware of.
"The mosque's chairman is from Zamfara state, and he is unable to visit his village today." "The committee's deputy chairman is from Niger state, therefore he can't go there as well," he explained.
Sheikh Khalid, also known as the Digital Imam, has recently taken to Facebook and other social media platforms to continue preaching in the face of increased demand for his lectures, uploading new Ramadan lessons.
When asked if he would return to the mosque, he indicated it would depend on how he was treated and if he was given a guarantee "not to interfere with my activities."
Northern Nigeria is seeing a surge in instability, with motorcycle bandits robbing numerous communities in the northwest and a decade-long insurgency conflict in the northeast displacing hundreds of thousands of people.
