The Chief Press Secretary, Abubakar Bawa recently had his say via a press statement, and Nigerians have been reacting.
According to him, Shettima saying the Ahmed Aliyu-led administration is planning to remove Sultan Muhammad Saad Abubakar was false, and he should have consulted the Governor before going public with such information.
He added that as an elder statesman and a father to all, Kashim should ensure he has the facts and figures before judging issues raised by mischief makers.
His words, “This is coming in the wake of a recent pronouncement made by the Vice President in Katsina State regarding the false story circulating that the Ahmed Aliyu-led administration is planning to remove Sultan Muhammad Saad Abubakar.
We sincerely expected the Vice President to have consulted the governor before going public. The state government urges Vice President Shettima as the No. 2 citizen to have full knowledge of issues of national concern before commenting on them.
As an elder statesman and a father to all, he should have facts and figures before judging 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.
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.
The government and people of Sokoto cherish and adore the sultanate council and would do everything possible to protect the dignity of the revered institution.
The government to this end reassures all Nigerians that, it will continue to protect the sultanate council and its dignity at all times.”
