As aggrieved politicians continue permutation on how to reclaim what they termed as “stolen mandate” at electoral Tribunal and Court, occasioned by widespread irregularities that greeted the outcome of the just concluded general elections, Sultan of Sokoto and President General, Nigeria Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs, Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar III, has enjoined them to sheath their swords and accept with equanimity, the outcomes of the 2023 elections.

This appeal was contained in Abubakar’s Eid-el-Fitr message to Nigerians on at the weekend.

The religious leader noted that the elections had come and gone, adding that Nigerians must learn to bury their political differences, because according to him, after the rain, comes the sun, as this explains succinctly why the Nigerian people should go ahead with their routine activities peacefully.

“Politicians seeking redress in courts should take the outcomes in good faith and support whoever emerges for the sustenance of peace, unity and development,” he said.

The sultan appreciated the Almighty Allah for the successful completion of the Ramadan fast by the Muslim Ummah across the country.

“As mankind, we always appreciate the Almighty Allah for the gift of life and good health to be among those that will celebrate this great day.

“During the period of Ramadan, we have learned a lot from our scholars, we should continue to sustain those lessons to be part of life.

“Our generosity to the less privileged among us should be maintained in order to enhance our relationship and sustain our love for one another,” he urged.

He, however, felicitated with all the Muslims across the country and prayed for the elected leaders to succeed in delivering their campaign promises to the citizens.
