Ahead of the 2019 general
elections, the Sultan of Sokoto, Muhammadu Abubakar III, on Tuesday lamented
that things are not okay in Nigeria.
The monarch said the situation of
insecurity, kidnapping, killings “everywhere” was an indication that everything
was not okay in the country.
He made the remark at a one-day
Dialogue on Democratic Stability and National Security, organized by the Alumni
Association of the National Institute, AANI.
Abubakar stressed that as the
2019 elections drew closer, things will get worse because politicians will take
advantage of the situation.
He also lamented that youths were
killing themselves due to lack of education and employment.
Abubakar said, “We have to admit
that if things were right in Nigeria we would not have all these security
issues, kidnappings and killings everywhere.
“As we inch closer to elections,
it is going to get worse, because politicians use this, so we have to be very
careful what we say.
“When you see children going
about killing themselves and burning houses, check their background, it’s
either they did not go to school or they are not employed.”
