The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, storming Kano, extended his presidential campaign to the palace of the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar III.
The Sultan, hosting Atiku and the PDP campaign team, urged politicians to work together with all honesty and sincerity; he admonished politicians against abusing or insulting one another.
Sultan Sa’ad Abubakar III had declared: “whatever you do with the fear of God, if you believe God gives and God takes, you will succeed and you will end well in this life. This life is a short stay here. We must work for the eternal life there.
“And in doing so, we must never insult people. We must never abuse people. We must never break relationships and friendships, no matter what political party we belong to.
“It’s very important – God gives power to whom He wants at the time He wants, and He will take it away from you at the time He wants without even warning you.”
He maintained: “We believe that when we are doing so with honesty and sincerity, we must fear God almighty. And I believe that’s the bottom line.”
