Sultan: Always verify your facts before reacting – Sokoto Govt to Shettima

Vice President Kashim Shettima has been advised by the Sokoto State Government to always confirm the facts before responding or commenting on delicate national issues.

In reaction to Shettima’s public warning during Monday’s Northwest Security Summit in Katsina, the state government issued the call.

It stated that before going public, the Vice President should have contacted Governor Ahmed Aliyu to confirm the rumors circulating about the alleged plot to remove Sultan Muhammadu Sa’ad Abubakar.

Abubakar Bawa, the spokesperson for Governor Aliyu, stated that the Vice President needs to be well-informed on matters of national importance before making any comments.

The statement read in part, “We sincerely expected the Vice President to have consulted the Governor before going public.

“As an elder statesman and a father to all he should have facts and figures before judging on issues raised by mischief makers and the mushroom social media handlers known for negative propaganda.

“The fact of the matter is that there was never any attempt to sack the Sultan nor have we sent him any threat regarding that.

“Sultan enjoys all the powers he is entitled to. We never denied him any of his freedom or rights.

“We therefore do not need to be told to guard, protect, and promote the Sultan. It is our sole responsibility.”
