The Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar III, has urged Nigerians to pray for bad leaders, irrespective of the bad situation in the country.
Abubakar made the appeal during an event at the University of Ilorin yesterday.
The Sultan emphasized that instead of cursing or condemning leaders, Nigerians should pray for them.
Abubakar said such prayers might lead to positive changes.
He said, “Even if a leader is bad, pray for him. Almighty Allah can make him turn a new leaf and become a better person.”
He urged the public to adopt a supportive attitude towards leadership for the good of the country.
The event was attended by several eminent personalities, including the Minister of Justice and Attorney-General of the Federation, Prince Lateef Fagbemi (SAN), and the Secretary-General of KU8+, Professor Francisca Oladipo.
Fagbemi, while chairing the event, echoed similar sentiments, encouraging Nigerians to focus on encouraging their leaders rather than constantly criticizing them.
