Play politics with decorum — Sultan tells politicians ahead of 2023 polls

The Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar, has cautioned politicians on the need to play politics devoid of acrimony.

He spoke while receiving the APC gubernatorial campaign council who visited him in his palace.

The Sultan also appealed to politicians to avoid using abusive words during electioneering campaigns.

According to him, campaigns should be issues-based, not casting aspersions on one another.

Abubakar also stressed on the need for peaceful coexistence among the citizens in the interest of the nation.

“Conduct your campaign rallies peacefully without jeopardizing the peaceful atmosphere,” he added

“As Muslims, we need to understand that power is in the hands of the Almighty Allah, he gives to whom he so wishes,” he added.

He further appealed to politicians to maintain the good relationship existing between them at all times.

On the redesigned new naira notes, sultan Sa’ad said the 10 days extension by the Apex bank is not enough.

Earlier, the Director General, APC governorship campaign council and Minister for Police Affairs, Muhammad Maigari Dingyadi told the monarch that they were in the palace to formally introduce their gubernatorial candidate in the forthcoming election.

He solicited the support of the monarch and fatherly prayers to succeed at the poll.
