Sultan of Sokoto, Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar III, has appealed to aggrieved politicians seeking redress in court to accept the outcome of the 2023 general elections in good faith.

The President General, Nigeria Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs gave the advice in his Eid-el-Fitr message on Friday in Sokoto, urging them to support the winner of the polls.

”The elections had come and gone, people should go ahead with their routine activities peacefully.

“Politicians seeking redress in courts should take the outcomes in good faith and support whoever emerges for the sustenance of peace, unity and development,” he said.

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

“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.

“During the period of Ramadan, we have learned a lot from our scholars, we should continue to sustain those lessons to be part of life.

“Our generosity to the less privileged among us should be maintained in order to enhance our relationship and sustain our love for one another,” he urged.

He, however, felicitated with all the Muslims across the country and prayed for the elected leaders to succeed in delivering their campaign promises to the citizens.
