Sultan of Sokoto Urges Political Decorum Ahead of Elections
On September 28, 2026, the Sultan of Sokoto and President-General of the Nigeria Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs, Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar, warned politicians to avoid insults and inflammatory remarks as the 2027 general elections approach. He expressed these concerns while receiving the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, and his running mate, Rabiu Kwankwaso, at his palace, accompanied by the party's Sokoto State governorship candidate, Shamsu Haido, and other party members.
Abubakar highlighted that such negative conduct could escalate tensions and lead to violence. He urged political figures to respect differing opinions and to prioritize Nigeria's unity and peace over personal political ambitions.
The Sultan emphasized that political campaigns should not devolve into personal attacks or hostility, advocating for a respectful and lawful approach to political discourse.
