The Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammadu Sa’ad Abubakar, has urged Nigerians against falling into the wiles of politicians who could want to manipulate them.
The revered traditional ruler made this known in his Sallah message yesterday.
He further urged the youths against becoming willing tools of destruction in the hands of politicians.
The Sultan said, “Don’t allow them to use you only to dump you after winning the elections. Whoever approaches you for thuggery ask him to lead you in the act.”
In the same vein, he urged Nigerians to desist from insulting their leaders but to pray ceaselessly for their success.
Also, he decried the antics of some Islamic scholars that willingness impart erroneous teaching to their followers.
“There are some scholars that are misleading their followers for their selfish reasons which is against the teaching of the Holy Prophet. I am urging this kind of scholars to fear God,” the Sultan noted.
