VP Shettima Warns Gov Aliyu Ahmad Against Removing Sa’ad Abubakar As Sultan Of Sokoto

Vice President Kashim Shettima on Monday warned Governor Ahmad Aliyu Sokoto  of Sokoto state against removing His Eminence, Alhaji Muhammadu Sa’ad Abubakar as Sultan of Sokoto.

Recall that the Executive Director of the Muslim Rights Council (MURIC), Prof. Isiaq Akintola, had earlier on Monday raised the alarm that the Sokoto state government is planning to dethrone the monarch.

 Akintola  in a statement he issued in Lagos said Nigerian Muslims would reject any thought of  removing Alhaji Muhammadu Sa’ad Abubakar as Sultan of Sokoto .

Giving his speech during the maiden edition of the North West Peace and Security Summit in Katsina on Monday  , the Vice President called the Sultan an institution that must be protected.

The summit was organized by the Northwest Governors’ Forum, in collaboration with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), 

Team@orientactualmags.com  learned that the two-day summit  held at the General Muhammadu Buhari House, Kastina will end tomorrow, Tuesday, June 25.

‘In all developmental issues in this country, His Eminence, the Sultan of Sokoto, I want to use him as a point of reference to recognize 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 jealousy guard, protect, promote, preserve and project for the growth of our nation’ he said-Team@orientactualmags.com  Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
