Sultan of Sokoto Urges Leaders to Govern With Godly Fear

The Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Saad Abubakar, has asked Nigeria’s political leaders to govern with fear of god.

He urged them to do what was right for their people because they would eventually account for their stewardship.

The top traditional ruler made the call at the opening of the central council meeting of the Jaamat Nasir Islam (JNI) in Minna, on Monday.

The sultan who is the JNI president, commends the federal government for doing its best to address the security challenges facing the country.

During the meeting, the Sultan asserted, “We call on our political leaders to fear Allah. They should know that they will be called to account for their stewardship. Therefore, they must do what’s right.

I would like to use this opportunity to inform the world or inform Nigerians and the government of Nigeria that the Suleja-Minna Road is still crying for attention.

And of course, the Minna-Bida Road was a nightmare for us when we went to Bida. Therefore, I call on the Minister of Works to complete the work on Minna-Suleja Road.

These roads that people use every day are a nightmare.

Almighty Allah would ask you. NNPC has started the Minna-Suleja Road. Why are you not completing it?

The Sultan applauded the government’s efforts in addressing security difficulties, despite the obstacles presented by the COVID-19 outbreak and security worries.
