PRAY FOR CONTINUED PEACE, PROSPERITY...Sultan
urges Muslims
From ABUBAKAR IMAM, Sokoto
SULTAN of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammadu Sa’ad Abubakar III has urged
Muslims in the country to continue to use this holy month of
Ramadan to pray for continued peace and prosperity in the country.
He made the call yesterday at the installation ceremony of the new
district-head of Rabah, Alhjaji Bello Abdullahi who succeeds his
late father, Alhaji Abdullahi Bello at the Sultan palace.
The Sultan who said the new District Head was installed at a time
that people are faced with abject poverty urged him to do all he can
to better the lives of the people in his domain, adding that the
door to the Sultanate Council is always open for him and other
district heads and the council would continue to support them in
cushioning the effect caused by the current hardship in their
domain.
While urging him to bear in mind that it was God that made it
possible for him to assume this leadership role as many had
contested with him but failed, Sultan Sa’ad warned him against
partisan politics as his role was only to counsel politicians on how
to impact positively on the lives of the generality as well as
support the government in its quest to uplift the living standard of
the people of the state and Nigeria in general, adding that he
should carry other members of their family along while carrying out
his assignment.
He urged those that contested with him and other people of the
district to take it as a will of God who gives power to whom he
wishes and rally round the new district head to take their district
to greater height, praying Allah to guide and protect him and to
grant his deceased father eternal rest. |
