The Sultan of Sokoto and General President of the Nigeria Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA), Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar III, has advised Nigerians to choose candidates in the general elections of 2023 who have good moral character.
In his remarks to attendees at the 29th regular meeting of the National Council on Water Resources (NCWR) in Sokoto on Thursday, Abubakar made the call.
The Sultan advised Nigerians to exercise caution when casting their ballots as the country’s general elections drew near.
According to him, “Nigerians need to think and rethink of who they are casting their votes to.
“We should not consider the religious or ethnic backgrounds of any body 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.”
