Vice-President Kashim Shettima has stated that the Sultan of Sokoto, His Eminence, Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar III, must be guarded jealously. 



Speaking at the ongoing North West Peace & Security Summit after it was reported that the Sokoto government has allegedly initiated plans to depose the monarch, Shettima stated that ‘’the Sultan is an institution” that everyone in the country ‘’must guard, protect, promote, preserve and project for the good of our nation.”

He said; 

“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.
