2023: Sultan issues fresh advice to election candidates ahead of May 29

Candidates who contested for different positions in the just-concluded 2023 general elections have been urged to accept the outcome of the poll.

The Sultan of Sokoto, Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar III, who also doubles as the president-general of the Nigerian Supreme Council of Islamic Affairs tasked politicians seeking redress in court to accept the outcomes of the 2023 elections in good faith.

The Sultan has asked politicians to accept the outcome of the 2023 general elections.

In his Eid-el-Fitr message to Nigerians on Friday, April 21, the Sultan said that elections have come and gone and everyone should at this point move on with their routine activities.

He also called for support for those who have won elections following the conduct of the 2023 general poll organised by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

His words: “Politicians seeking redress in courts should take the outcomes in good faith and support whoever emerges for the sustenance of peace, unity and development."

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

He added: “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."
