A former Head of State Gen Abdulsalami Abubakar (rtd) has cautioned the political class to watch their words and deeds ahead of the 2023 general elections.
According to Gen Abubakar, the political class must realise that the fate of Nigeria lies in their hands.
The former Head of State said we must all remember that no one can rule over a nation in ruins.
He spoke at the 19th Daily Trust dialogue with the theme: 2023: The politics, economy and insecurity.
Abubakar said: “Our political class must realise that the fate of Nigeria lies in its hands and choose to do good in this moment of history.
“As they justle for power in the coming elections, all politicians must watch their words and deeds carefully and avoid saying or doing things that will further heat up the polity.
“We must all remember that no one can rule over a nation in ruins. Leadership is a collective responsibility, and we must all play our parts positively.”
