Vice-President Kashim Shettima has told the Sokoto State Government that His Eminence, Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar III, the Sultan must be guarded jealously.
The nation’s number two citizen said this at the ongoing North West Peace & Security Summit.
The event is ongoing in Katsina State.
“Our father who is a permanent picture in all developmental issues in this country, His Eminence the Sultan of Sokoto. I want to use him as my point of reference to recognise and appreciate all our royal fathers present here.”
“And to the Deputy Governor of Sokoto, I have a simple message for you. Yes, the Sultan is the Sultan of Sokoto, but he is much more than that; he represents an idea. He is an institution that all of us in this country need to jealously guard, protect, promote, preserve and project for the good of our nation.”
Shettima’s warning is sequel to the claim of the Executive Director of Muslim Rights Council (MURIC), Prof. Isiaq Akintola, that the Sokoto government is allegedly plotting to depose the Sultan.
