Mr Abubakar, who said this in his Eid-el-Fitr Sallah message to Nigerians in Sokoto, urged Politicians to allow peace to reign in the country.
“We are fully aware that the general elections in Nigeria are fast approaching,” said the sultan. “Therefore, we urge Nigerians to live peacefully with one another and ensure the belief that whoever emerged after the election period is not only our choice but the choice of the almighty Allah.”
