The Sultan of Sokoto and President-General of Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs, Alhaji Sa'ad Abubakar, has said the outcome of the 2023 presidential election is in God's hands.
Prominent religious leaders on Wednesday advised Nigerians to get their Permanent Voter Cards ready to vote according to their conscience in the February 25 presidential election.
He said, “We are first Nigerians before anything else. So, Nigerians should go and get their PVCs, conducts themselves peacefully, go to the polling units on election days and vote with wisdom and according to their conscience.According to him, the outcome of the elections was in God’s hand, stressing that it was the creator who would decide the fate of all the candidates.
He, however, clarified that CAN took its position against same-faith ticket long before the political parties fielded their candidates because a Muslim-Christian ticket or vice versa would de-escalate the mounting inter-religious tension in the land. “Why did CAN say no to same-faith ticket? It is in order to ease the tension in order to make sure that political parties play in such a way that we, as a nation, can be able to manage our diverse religious and ethnic consciousness.”
“We call on all those who through their actions and/or inactions cause trouble during elections, to please desist from it, so as not to worsen an already combustible situation.
