The Sultan of Sokoto, Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar, has finally broken his silence on the quit notice order given by a coalition of Northern Arewa youths.
Speaking when he hosted Leaders of resident communities, Heads of Security Agencies, Civil Society Groups, and Media Practitioners, to a Ramadan breakfast dinner at his Palace in Sokoto, the Monarch maintained that no matter the call for secession, Nigerians would remain one big family.
His words: “No matter what anybody can say, no matter what is happening, we are still one big family.
“Let’s sit down, discuss these issues. So that together we can find out what really went wrong. Let us retrace our steps and see where we started getting things wrong, so that we can find the way of sorting things out.
“It is a simple thing, because we are all eager to live in peace, united, and to have a morally upright country, based on justice, equity, and above all, fear of God.
“I am totally disappointed over what is happening. I like challenges, and we are in a challenging period, and we will take it up. We will continue preaching love, impartiality, respect, and unity, in the country.”
Urging Nigerians to shun suspicion and respect one another, the Sultan called on elders to caution their youths.
He said: “If you see your son misbehaving and decide to keep quiet, it means you are supporting him, because no father wants to see his son going astray, without doing anything.”
He added: “We don’t have to resort to uncomplimentary remarks or violence to make our demands heard, because insecurity doesn’t help anybody. No violence pays anybody, or resolves any problem.
“We should stop looking down on others, unless we want to lift them up. We should understand ourselves and respect one another.”
