Vice President Kashim Shettima has told the government of Sokoto state that Alhaji Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar III must be guarded jealously.
As reported by Daily Trust, the nation’s number two citizen disclosed this at the ongoing North West Peace & Security Summit. The event is taking place in Katsina state.
A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) confirmed Shettima’s message to Governor Ahmed Aliyu of Sokoto state on his X page.
“In all developmental issues in this country, His Eminence, the Sultan of Sokoto, I want to use him as a 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 jealousy guard, protect, promote, preserve and project for the growth of our nation,” Shettima said.
