Don't Let Down Nigerians Who Voted For You - Sultan To Buhari

President-General, Nigerian Supreme Council for
Islamic Affairs, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar, has urged
the president-elect, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu
Buhari, not to disappoint Nigerians as
people who voted him to power have high
expectations from him.

Speaking at a media briefing in Ilorin on
Thursday, April 2, the Sultan of Sokoto,
represented by the Secretary-General, NSCIA,
Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, urged Buhari to be wary of
praise singers and accept good advice from his
critics.

The Sultan said: “Nigerians have great
expectations from an incorruptible man, a role
model, a gallant officer and distinquished
statesman who they could not be induced by
money to abandon.
“It is your responsibility not to disappoint the
teeming majority, the masses especially, who
sacrificed their time, energy and lives because
their hope hangs on you.”

Speaking about President Goodluck Jonathan,
Abubakar lauded him for conceding defeat. He
also said Jonathan had etched his name in gold
in Nigeria’s history.

“Under your (Jonathan’s) watch, Nigeria has
organised the best election in her history. It is
satisfying that the American ambassador to
Nigeria was reported to have said he would
recommend a component of our electoral
process to his country, which means your
administration has positively impacted on the
electoral process,” he added.
