Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar, the Sultan of Sokoto, on Saturday, July 25, warned Nigerian against becoming puppets in the hands of some politicians aiming to breach peace.
According to NAN, the Sultan who spoke at a Sallah lunch organized for members of the resident communities in the state, said:
‘Those who have lost out in politics can instigate others to cause problems in Nigeria – which are capable of causing the breach of the peace. We should all be wary of such unpatriotic Nigerians, so that Nigerians can live peacefully with each other.”
The monarch further lamented over the settler-indigenes dichotomy which he considers a major problem in many states.
“How can somebody who has lived in a place for close to forty or over forty years be regarded as a non-indigene? In America, if a child is born today, he or she will be given a visa, this is how it is supposed to be globally.

“Sokoto is home to all, irrespective of religious, political , social or ethnic differences, and everybody doesn’t pay school fees for their kids, at primary and secondary school levels here.”
The Sultan urged people to sustain peace and socio-economic development, so as to work hard for the sake of change which they voted for in the general elections. Finally, Abubakar stressed the importance for Nigerians to live in peace and respect each other.
“This world is a very short place to be and discrimination in any form is anti-progress. This annual forum would be sustained in appreciation of your commendable roles to contribute to boost the socio-economic development, as well as the peace of the state and Nigeria in general.”
