Eid: Accept election tribunals’ verdicts in good faith, Sultan tells losers 

The Sultan of Sokoto, Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar has advised candidates who went to court after their defeat in the last general elections to accept the verdicts of the court in good faith.

In his sallah message shortly after observing Eid-el-fitr at Fakon idi on Friday, the monarch described the losers’ resolve to seek redress in the court of law without resorting to violence as commendable.

He however, urged them to be ready to accept the outcome of the court even if it did not favour them.
