Stop blame games, let’s unite to fix the economy, Sultan of Sokoto tells political leaders ON AUGUST 14, 20161:21 AMIN NEWSCOMMENTS By SIMON EBEGBULEM Benin-City SULTAN of Sokoto and the President General of the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA), Alhaji Muhammadu Sa’ad Abubakar, has warned Nigerian leaders to stop what he described as the “blame game and face the reality” on the bad state of the nation’s economy. Abubakar explained that unless political leaders abandon their political affiliations and come together to fix the economy, Nigerians will continue to groan. He added that though things are currently difficult for the people, Nigeria is better than some industrialized nations facing crises in different spheres. He also urged political leaders in Edo State to avoid violence in the forthcoming governorship election, stressing that the people must be allowed to vote the candidates of their choice because “when you have something on ground, the people will compare the work and that of the other parties and make their choice”. Speaking when he paid a courtesy visit on Governor Adams Oshiomhole, the Sultan, who informed the governor that he was in the state for the annual meeting of the NSCIA, said all hands must be on deck to achieve the Nigeria of our dreams.
