Vice President Kashim Shettima
The Sokoto State Government has called on Vice President Kashim Shettima to always cross-check facts before commenting on sensitive national matters.
Recall that Shettima and the Peoples Democratic Party, on Monday, cautioned against an alleged plot to remove the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar III, by the state government.
The state government, in a press statement signed by the governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Abubakar Bawa, and made available to newsmen in the state on Tuesday, noted that the Vice President ought to have consulted the governor before going public.
The statement read, “This is coming in the wake of a recent pronouncement made by the Vice President in Katsina State regarding the false story circulating that the Ahmed Aliyu-led administration is planning to remove Sultan Muhammad Saad Abubakar.
“We sincerely expected the Vice President to have consulted the governor before going public. The state government urges Vice President Shettima as the No. 2 citizen to have full knowledge of issues of national concern before commenting on them.
