Election is not a do-or-die affair – Sultan tells Jonathan, Buhari

With barely a week to the 2015 presidential election scheduled to hold on the 28th of March, the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ ad Abubakar, yesterday, appealed to political actors, especially President Goodluck Jonathan and Major General Muhammadu Buhari, not to take the election as a do-or-die affair.

The Sultan, speaking when the Director General of the National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, Brigadier General Johnson Olawunmi, paid him a courtesy call in his palace, said winners of elections were predestined by God, wondering why some of them view elections as a do-or-die affair.

“While they struggle for electoral success, they should also consider the well-being of the country after elections,” he stated.

The Sultan also called on the security agencies to protect corps members and other personnel that will be involved in the conduct of the general elections.
