He therefore advised Al-Mustapha to, as a goodMoslem, forgive and forget whatever transpired against him during his 13 years of incarceration, adding, “let him take it as a wishof the Almighty Allah for it is a supreme sacrifice for this great nation”. Ajagu also warned politicians in Anambra Stateto do the election without violence, adding that they should play politics as as a free, fair or friendly game by embracing their opponents when they lose the election.
