Sultan Of Sokoto Hale And Hearty, Leaves Kaduna For Abuja – Sultanate Council

A Senior Counselor in the Sultanate Council and Sa’in Kilgori, Dr Muhammadu Jabbi Kilgori, has urged the public to disregard the malicious rumours making rounds in the social media about the Sultan of Sokoto, and President-General of the Nigerian Supreme Council for Affairs (NSCIA), Alhaji Muhammadu Sa’ad Abubakar III.

Frowning at what he described as an ‘unfortunate development’, Dr Kilgori said; “It is a fake news by some unscrupulous elements. We don’t know their motive. We don’t know what they want to achieve by fake news against the Sultan.

The Senior Counselor, who was responding to enquiries from some reporters, further said; “The Sultan is hale and hearty. I am right now with him. In fact, we just left Kaduna for Abuja where the Sultan is having another official engagement.

“Let the general republic disregard this story because it is not true”
