Vice President Asks Sokoto Governor to Protect the Sultan, Amidst Rumored Plan to Depose Him

Vice President Kashim Shettima has asked Sokoto state governor to jealously protect and guard the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Saad Abubakar.

According to the vice president, the sultan was more than a monarch, but represents an idea.

He made the call during the North West peace and security summit holding in Katsina.

The Sultan, according to him, also is an institution that must be promoted, and preserved for the growth of the country.

The vice president spoke, amidst the rumored plan by the Sokoto state government to depose the Sultan.

The first to issue an alert on the alleged move, was the Muslim rights concern which warned against the alleged plan to depose the top monarch.

Also, a Cleric in Zamfara state, Babangida Ahmed said the deposition of the sultan was ill advised, and would be a setback for the Muslim community in the country.

In the statement, Akintola expressed the opposition of Nigerian Muslims to any such plot against the Sultan.

Feelers in circulation indicate that the governor may descend on the Sultan of Sokoto any moment from now using any of the flimsy excuses used to dethrone the 15 traditional rulers whom he removed earlier.

MURIC advises the governor to look before he leaps. The Sultan’s stool is not only traditional. It is also religious.

In the same vein, his jurisdiction goes beyond Sokoto. It covers the whole of Nigeria. He is the spiritual head of all Nigerian Muslims.

Therefore, any governor who tampers with the stool of the Sultan will have Nigerian Muslims to reckon with because the Sultan combines the office of the Sultan of Sokoto and that of the President General of the NSCIA, Akintola had said.
