The Sultan of Sokoto, Sa’ad Abubakar has urged Kaduna politicians to focus on promoting democracy in preparation for the 2019 general elections and shun hate speech.
He made this known while presenting his address at the Annual Pre-Ramadan lectures organised by the Jama’atul Nasirul Islam (JNI) in Kaduna on Tuesday.
He decried the attitude portrayed by politicians in Kaduna, describing it as worrisome and disturbing.
Abubakar called on them (Kaduna politicians) to make peace and stop the hate speech because Kaduna was key to the survival of the region.
“The attitude of politicians is becoming worrisome and disturbing, especially what is happening in Kaduna should stop.
“Kaduna politicians should close their ranks and stop the hate speech because Kaduna is key to the survival of the region,” he said.
The monarch also called for caution on the use of social media among the people, as politicians would do everything to promote religious, tribal, ethnic sentiments.
