In a call for caution during the upcoming 2027 general elections, the Sultan of Sokoto, Muhammad Sa'ad Abubakar, addressed Nigerians urging them to carefully evaluate the promises made by political candidates. The Sultan expressed concern over politicians attempting to exploit issues like insecurity and national challenges for political gain, instead encouraging them to focus on promoting peace, unity, and development.
He addressed the All Progressives Congress (APC) 2027 Campaign Council, led by its Director-General, Senator Abdul-Aziz Yari Abubakar, at the Sultan's palace in Sokoto. The Sultan's message emphasized the importance of a peaceful and issue-based campaign, respecting the electorate's choices, and maintaining national unity and progress.
He acknowledged that no government could completely eliminate insecurity and poverty, but they could strive to mitigate their impact on the populace. The Sultan expressed his best wishes for the APC campaign council's success and sought peace, stability, and good governance for Nigeria. Earlier, APC campaign council member, Senator Yari, highlighted President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's commitment to the North and the country's development, mentioning the government's various achievements and ongoing focus on peace, unity, and cohesion.
Kebbi State Governor, Nasir Idris; Zamfara State Governor, Dauda Lawal; Sokoto State Governor, Dr Ahmed Aliyu; and other prominent politicians, including former APC National Chairman, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, were among the delegation that sought the Sultan's guidance and blessings prior to the 2027 electioneering campaign.
