The Sultan of Sokoto, Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar III, has urged Nigerians to intensify prayers for the country ahead of the 2027 general elections, saying the nation needs leaders with integrity, vision and fear of God to overcome its current challenges.
The monarch made the call in his Eid-el-Kabir message on Thursday, where he emphasised the importance of spiritual reflection, unity and patriotism in building a peaceful and prosperous Nigeria.
The Sultan, who also serves as President-General of the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs, said Nigerians must continue to seek divine guidance in the emergence of credible leaders capable of addressing insecurity, economic hardship and other national concerns.
“Our prayers are always the guiding light toward the choice of our leaders; therefore, we should sustain more prayers in our quest for the best country we desire,” he said.
