The Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar III has encouraged Nigerians to pray for the current administration and leaders in general irrespective of how bad the situation in the country is.

He made the appeal at a recent event at the University of Ilorin on Thursday, October 10.

He said, “Even if a leader is bad, pray for him. Almighty Allah can make him turn a new leaf and become a better person.”

He encouraged Nigerians to be introduce a positive attitude towards leadership for the good of the country.

The event was attended by several eminent personalities, including the Minister of Justice and Attorney-General of the Federation, Prince Lateef Fagbemi (SAN), and the Secretary-General of KU8+, Professor Francisca Oladipo.

Fagbemi, while chairing the event, echoed similar sentiments, encouraging Nigerians to focus on encouraging their leaders rather than constantly criticizing them.
