Aliyu Wamakko, senator representing Sokoto North, has appealed to the electorate to be peaceful as they go to the poll to cast their votes in Saturday’s governorship and state houses of assembly elections.
Wamakko, in a special message to the people of Sokoto state, said that peace is the prerequisite of any meaningful development.
“Without peace and harmony, development and socio-economic prosperity will continue to elude us,” the former governor of Sokoto said.
“Our topmost priority should be the sustenance of peace, unity, and the spirit of good neighbourliness.”
Wamakko said that violence would not do anybody any good, as it is destructive and retrogressive.
“Nobody should perpetrate violence in the name of politics, hence we should all uphold the sanctity of human life.
“God gives and takes leadership to whosoever He wishes and at his appointed time.
“So, we should all go out peacefully on Saturday and cast our votes for our preferred candidates.”
