The Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammadu Sa’ad Abubakar, has urged Nigerians to politely tailor their demands and grievances to their leaders without resorting to abusive language and insults.
He said: “It is good to always tell our leaders when there is a problem, but in doing so, we should avoid abusive words.
“If you insult your leader, how can you ask him to do something for you?
“But if you tell him your problems in a polite manner, I am sure he will listen to you and even do the needful.”
The Sultan, while delivering his Sallah message on Sunday, also urged Nigerians to continue praying for their leaders at all levels.
“Pray for the President, pray for your governors, pray for your local government chairmen, and pray for your lawmakers so that God can pity them and assist them in discharging their responsibilities.
“You should also continue praying for peace, development, and prosperity in our states and the country at large,” he said.
