Wamakko, in a special message to the people of Sokoto State, said peace is the prerequisite of any meaningful development.<\/p>\n

\u201cWithout peace and harmony, development and socio-economic prosperity will continue to elude us.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur topmost priority should be the sustenance of peace, unity and the spirit of good neighbourliness,\u201d the former Governor of Sokoto State said.<\/p>\n

The Senator who represents Sokoto North warned that violence would not do anyone any good, as it is destructive and retrogressive.<\/p>\n

\u201cNobody should perpetrate violence in the name of politics, hence we should all uphold the sanctity of human life.<\/p>\n

\u201cGod gives and takes leadership to whosoever He wishes and at his appointed time.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, we should all go out peacefully on Saturday and cast our votes for our preferred candidates.\u201d<\/p>\n
