Sultan Asks For Peace

The Sultan of Sokoto and President-General, Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA), Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar III, has appealed to Nigerians to live in peace with one another for the unity of the country.

“I am calling on all Nigerians to imbibe and embrace the culture and spirit of living in peace, irrespective of tribal, ethnic or regional differences.”

Alhaji Abubakar made the plea in a statement in Sokoto yesterday. He said Nigeria would continue to remain one nation with a common goal of purposeful development.

Alhaji Abubakar said the action of some should not be allowed to tear the country apart, adding that bad ones should be called to order by their elders and community leaders.

He challenged elder statesmen to call the youth to order and educate them on the need for peaceful coexistence in their respective geo-political zones.
