The Sultan of Sokoto and president-general of the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA), Alhaji Mohammed Sa'ad Abubakar lll, yesterday
He described Governor Yahaya as a truthful, passionate, accountable and steadfast leader with passion for peace, unity and development of his state and Nigeria.
The Sultan of Sokoto stated that traditional institutions will not shy away from constantly advising leaders to be just and do right to all manner of people irrespective of tribal or religious affiliations. He said, “We do not criticize leaders; we advise them; we critique their activities because criticism is different from critique. So, when you are doing something right we pray for you and push you to do more and when you are doing wrong as a human being, we’ll advise and caution you on what you are supposed to do and if the Almighty makes it happen for you to do what we advise and it becomes good for us we thank you and if you don’t we have discharged our responsibility very well”.
He assured that in no distant time he would pay a visit to the state to fully appreciate the excellent work of Governor Yahaya. The governor expressed satisfaction with the leadership qualities of Sultan of Sokoto and thanked him for uniting the Ummah within and outside the country, describing the traditional ruler as an embodiment of truthfulness and forthrightness.
