The Sokoto State Government has urged Vice President Kashim Shettima to always verify facts before reacting or commenting on sensitive national matters.
The state government made the call in response to the public
warning Shettima made at the Northwest Security Summit in Katsina on Monday,
It said the Vice President should have contacted Governor
Ahmed Aliyu to verify the news which made rounds on the purported plan to
depose Sultan Muhammadu Sa’ad Abubakar before going public.
According to the statement by Governor Aliyu’s spokesman,
Abubakar Bawa, the Vice President should always have full knowledge of issues
of national concern before commenting on them.
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.”
