The former Head of State warned that the political class must remember that no one can rule over a nation in ruins.

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 jostle 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.
