Governor Abdullahi Sule Rejects Misuse Of Executive Authority Against Opposition

Governor Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa State expressed his commitment to avoiding the misuse of executive powers against those opposed to his ideals.

Sule acknowledged the temptation that comes with his position to utilize executive powers against those in opposition to his ideals.

However, he emphasized that his religious principles vehemently discourage any negative exploitation of such privileges.

He discussed this matter while hosting the executive members of the Tsangaya Quranic Reciters, led by Sangarin Kwandere, HRH Alhaji Ahmadu Al-Makura, in Lafia yesterday.

As a Muslim, he emphasized that his religion condemns the abuse of such powers. He further expressed his awareness of the responsibilities entrusted to a leader.

The governor elucidated that he has chosen to disregard requests and pressure to enforce stringent measures against those opposing his administration.

This decision is rooted in his understanding of Islam’s teachings regarding the responsibilities incumbent upon a leader

A lot of people are saying if it’s another governor, he would have dealt with all those working against his interest.

“I am aware of the immense responsibility bestowed on a leader by Islam, and I am willing to accommodate their attitudes,” he said.

He called on the members of the Quranic Reciters Association to include members of the opposition in their prayers so that they would understand the need for peaceful coexistence.

Sule expressed gratitude to the association members for their concern and prayers during the period when his case was under consideration at the Court of Appeal.

He encouraged them to persist in their prayers even after the Supreme Court judgment, emphasizing the importance of fostering peaceful coexistence in the state.

The Kwandere, HRH Al-Makura, who led the delegation, said the group agreed to organize a series of prayers to safeguard the interest of the people of the state.

Kanyi Daily recalls that the Court of Appeal in Abuja had reversed the sack of the Abdullahi Sule by the State Election Petitions Tribunal in its judgment delivered on October 2.
