\n<\/p>\n

Politicians in the country have been advised to shun politics of calumny, envy and enmity for the general interest of the country\u2019s democratic development.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sokoto State Governor, Alhaji Aliyu Wamakko, gave the advice while speaking with newsmen in Government House, Kano on Thursday.<\/span><\/p>\n

He disclosed that as people of integrity, \u201cwe should always learn how to play clean politics by shunning unguarded utterances and any other thing that may create confusion among our people.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Giving his view on the conduct of the general elections in Sokoto State, he said, it was possible through the free hand given by his administration for everyone to contest for any elective position of their choice.<\/span><\/p>\n

He also noted that the electorate were given the chance to vote for their preferred candidates.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wammako said, \u201cWe in Sokoto State did not impose any candidate on anybody. Rather, we allowed anyone willing to contest for an elective position to vie for any seat at all levels of governance; coupled with the strong organisation we have in the state to ensure a free and fair election.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEven though Nigeria is still progressing democratically, by God\u2019s grace and with time, we will mature and overcome all the problems we have including regional, ethnic and all forms of differences so as to develop to our fullest\u201d, he prayed.<\/span><\/p>\n

The governor expressed confidence that Nigeria would become a united, progressive and peaceful nation.<\/span><\/p>\n

He, however, emphasised that this could only be possible through sincerity, honesty as well as avoiding unguarded utterances that may provoke or disturb the stability enjoyed in the country.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
