Sambo Bello Danchadi in a swift reaction on Tuesday said the state government has no plan whatsoever to dethrone the revered monarch, while describing the allegation by MURIC as false and baseless.<\/p>\n<p>Sambo explained that the law guiding the appointment and disposition of traditional rulers in the state had not been changed or even repelled.<\/p>\n<p>The Executive Director of the Muslim Rights Council (MURIC), Prof. Isiaq Akintola, on Monday, raised alarm that, Sokoto state government was plotting to depose His Eminence the Sultan of Sokoto against the backdrop of the happenings in Kano.<\/p>\n<p>MURIC in a statement cited the removal of 15 traditional rulers for various offences.<\/p>\n<p>Prof Akintola, in a statement further warned that, Muslims Ummah in Nigeria would reject and resist any hostile actions against the Sultan, who happened to be the spiritual leader of all Muslins in Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>The Islamic organization however expressed concern over the alleged sour relationship between the state government and the Sultan.<\/p>\n<p>The organisation said the pedestal of the Sultan of Sokoto was not only traditional but also religious, noting that the Sultan doubles as the head of the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs.<\/p>\n<p>The group warned the Sokoto governor not to \u201cforce Nigerian Muslims to take a drastically revolutionary measure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It said, \u201cFeelers in circulation indicate that the governor may descend on the Sultan of Sokoto any moment from now using any of the flimsy excuses used to dethrone the 15 traditional rulers whom he removed earlier.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMURIC advises the governor to look before he leaps. The Sultan\u2019s stool is not only traditional, it is also religious. In the same vein, his jurisdiction goes beyond Sokoto. It covers the whole of Nigeria. He is the spiritual head of all Nigerian Muslims.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAny governor who tampers with the stool of the Sultan will have Nigerian Muslims to reckon with because the Sultan combines the office of the Sultan of Sokoto and that of the President General of the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs \u201d MURIC had earlier cautioned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Says law guiding the appointment and disposition of traditional rulers in the state had not been changed or even repelled Sokoto government has denied allegations that it\u2019s plotting to depose His Eminence the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammad Sa\u2019ad Abubakar III.
