Adamu, who was at the Palace of Sarkin Karshi, Dr. Sani Muhammed Bako III, the palaces of Sarkin Uke, Alhaji Ahmed Abdullahi Hassan the Yakanajie of Uke and Guruku, Alhaji Jibrin Waziri to seek their royal blessings, called on the monarchs to intervene on the conduct of the presidential and other elections by praying to God.

According to him, this is in view of what he described as “unpleasant attitude of some desperate politicians to truncate the election process.”

“For the successful conduct of the forthcoming elections, the country needs intervention of the monarchs and religious leaders,” Adamu said.
