The shortage of the Naira, which has sparked debate nationwide, has prompted a response from Alhaji Muhammadu Sa’ad Abubakar, the Sultan of Sokoto.
The Sultan stated that it has caused hunger and resentment in the nation in his request to President Muhammadu Buhari to solve the issue in order to prevent a rebellion.
Speaking at a two-day conference by the Kano State government on livestock reforms and mitigation of associated conflicts, the Monarch said;
Let’s keep politics aside. The issues of development, especially for the common man, (should be prioritised).
These people that God Almighty gave leadership over, one day, God forbid, will rise (against us).
After all the English by professors (at the conference), how do we get these developments down to the common man who is a farmer, the common Fulani man who doesn’t know anything about development He only cares about cattle.
The people are hungry is there money People are angry and hungry. Let’s see how we can douse the tension.
