Sultan of Sokoto, Muhammad Sa’ad
Abubakar III has affirmed that he was never in agreement with any plan to
attack the Igbos in the north.
According to the monarch, “if
anybody or group of persons plans negative attack on the Igbos, it should be
done to him first.”
Abubakar who made the remark in
Sokoto when he received the world Igbo union leader, His Imperial Majesty (HIM)
Sir Dr. Meshach, said he was against the so-called ultimatum by the Arewa
youths that Igbos should vacate the north by October.
He said the agitation for pulling
out by some people or calls for disintegration cannot solve any of the problems
facing the country, adding that dividing it into many parts was not the
solution to the mirage of problems facing the nation.
He called on the electorates to
ensure their votes go to credible persons seeking political offices.
“They come to you during
campaigns, promise you heaven in your house, air conditions on all roads and
milk entering your mouth hourly with out any effort from you and, as soon as
they win, they move to Abuja.
“Then they start planning or
arranging comfort for themselves while some from rural areas move to state capital
with careless abandonment of the voters”, he noted.
He called on the electorates to
ensure their votes go to credible persons seeking political offices.
“That is the only way forward
even as I condemn all about the quit order, the violence method of agitations
for independence, kidnappings, vandalization and hiding under religion to kill
through the use of suicide bombing instruments believing that it will lead one
to heaven,” he added.
