Sa’ad Abubakar III, sultan of
Sokoto, has urged the youth not to allow politicians use them for thuggery ahead
of the 2019 elections.
Abubakar, who was speaking in his
palace in Sokoto, also urged Nigerians to resist attempts by politicians to
divide them while campaigning for votes.
“As we are approaching the
political era, it is our hope that politicians in the country will allow peace
to reign in Nigeria,” he said.
“Our youths should stay
peacefully and not to allow selfish politicians to use them in breaching the
relative peace in the country.
“Whoever approaches you for
thuggery, ask him to lead you in the act.”
The sultan called for caution
ahead of the elections, saying “any distraction or violence will only set our
democracy backwards and affect all areas of human development”.
He said some of the challenges
being experienced in the country are instigated by politicians while urging
them to play politics devoid of acrimony and violence.
Lamenting the security challenges
across the country, the monarch called on citizens to join hands with the
government and to complement the efforts of security agencies.
