The Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar, has turbaned 15 new District Heads in Sokoto State.
The Sultan disclosed this in a message to The DEFENDER after the even on Saturday.
The Sokoto turbanning, though royal, was a significant coincidence as it happened same day and same time that the Grand Imam of Akure Kingdom, Sheikh Abdul-Hakeem Yayi Akorede, was turbanning 15 new chiefs of the Ummah in the Ondo State capital, in Saturday September 19, 2020.
It took place to fill the vacant positions of District Heads of the respective areas who had passed on.
Sultan Sa’ad Abubakar congratulated the newly turbaned District Heads and urged them to ensure the best representation for their communities in the Sultanate Council.
“Your turbanning is an added responsibility and opportunity to serve the society, as such I urge all of you to remain focused in ensuring sustainable development to the people.
“You are all aspected to continue to work closely with your community in ensuring sustainable peace and unity in the state,” he said.
The Sultan further prayed for the new district heads and for peace and prosperity in the country.
Those turbaned included the District Head of Kware, Alhaji Muhammadu Dan’iya, father of the Sokoto State Deputy Governor and Justice Mohammed Tsamiya, as District Head of Tsamiya, among others.
