2023 presidency: Sultan of Sokoto appeal to Nigerians on who to vote for

President of the Nigeria Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs, NSCIA, and the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar III, has appealed to Nigerians to vote for leaders with reputable character in the 2023 general election.

Addressing participants at the 29th regular meeting of the National Council on Water Resources in Sokoto on Thursday, he urged Nigerians to be wise, while casting their votes.

“Nigerians need to think and rethink who they are casting their votes to.

“We should not consider the religious or ethnic backgrounds of anybody we are voting for but Nigeria first.

“Our country should be our priority above any thing and not voting any person who may worsen our present challenges,” he warned.

Abubakar asked Nigerians to be committed to the progress of Nigeria by putting ethnicity aside and face reality.

The Sultan said: ”Our country is far better than many countries of the world in terms of security.

“Therefore, we should continue to support and appreciate our country and leaders with prayers in order to be able to address our challenges.

Abubakar appreciated the Federal Government, the Minister of Water Resources and the officials of the ministry for choosing Sokoto State to hold the council meeting.
