The Sultan of Sokoto, Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar, has advised candidates who resorted to court after their defeat in the last general elections to accept the verdicts of courts in good faith.
In his Sallah message shortly after observing two units of Eid-el-Fitr at Fakon Idi on Friday, the monarch described their resolve to seek redress in the court of law without resorting to violence as commendable.
He, however, urged them to be ready to accept the outcome of the court, even if it did not favor them.
“After accepting the outcome, support the winners for the sustenance of peace, unity, and our development,” he said.
The monarch expressed gratitude to Almighty Allah for sparing their lives to witness another Eid festival after the completion of the month of Ramadan.
