The Sultan of Sokoto, Abubakar III, Sa’adu Abubakar says President-elect Bola Tinubu should develop the country and the next generation rather than thought of winning the next election.
The Sultan made the assertion in Abuja on Saturday at an event where the former Kenyan President, Uhuru Kenyatta delivered an inaugural lecture titled, “Deepening Democracy for Integration and Development”.
In his words, “As political leaders, you will need not only to think of the next election but also, and more importantly, think of the next generation.
“I leave you with these thoughts and pray for God’s guidance, wisdom, and patience for leaders to take our country to the highest height. And we have peace and stability in our great country Nigeria,” he added.
Earlier, Kenyatta had also advised Tinubu to reach out to those who may feel aggrieved over his emergence, so as to build a stronger nation.
According to him, Tinubu must transcend from tactical politics and adopt the role of a vision bearer.
He stressed that the President-elect must lead and unite all citizens, regardless of whether or not they supported him during the election.
