The Sultan of Sokoto, Muhammadu Abubakar, has urged Nigerians to avoid ethnic and religious bias when choosing who to vote for in the general election.

Speaking at the 29th regular meeting of the national council on water resources (NCWR) in Sokoto on Thursday, the sultan urged the electorate to vote for leaders with reputable character.

“Nigerians need to think and rethink who they are casting their votes for,” he said. “We should not consider the religious or ethnic backgrounds of anybody we are voting for, but Nigeria first.”

The sultan emphasized the importance of putting the country’s needs above personal or group interests. “Our country should be our priority above anything and not voting any person who may worsen our present challenges,” he said.
