Sokoto state government said its attention has been drawn to a malicious and fabricated publication credited to the Muslims Rights Concern alleging a plot by the government to dethrone his eminence the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar III.
He noted that allegation was just to create an unfriendly atmosphere and fear in the minds of the law-abiding and peaceful citizens of the state. “The Sultanate Council, which has a long standing historical importance is so reverred to all the people of Sokoto State, therefore we still hold the institution in very high regards and esteem”.
“MURIC should have cared to find out if there was ever any query, warning or any threatening documents served on the sultan by the state government.”“We equally like to remind MURIC that promoting Islamic affairs is the second item on the Ahmed Aliyu’s nine-point Smart Agenda,therefore Islam means so much to the present administration, coupled with the fact that Sokoto being the Seat of the Caliphate, is a 100 per cent Muslim-dominated society.
He said to put the records straight, we would like to tell the world that the relationship between the Ahmed Aliyu-led administration and the Sultanate Council under the leadership of our most respected monarch, Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar has been very cordial.
