Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar has taken a swipe at the formation of the new Northern established security outfit called ‘Shege Ka Fasa’ recently by some youth under the banner of Coalition of Northern Groups, CNG.
He described the security outfit as a way to ‘’score cheap political points” and called on the northern elders to call the youth to order immediately.
The Sultan of Sokoto stated his position while speaking at the Northern Security Meeting held in Kaduna on Thursday.
He said “I saw the security outfit on the media. Now, the elders allowed these youths to go forward. The elites are our problems, the youth will do whatever they like if the elders don’ t take the lead and think they are right. They have to caution these youths by giving them good leadership.
“The youths launched their own security outfit they call it Shege Ka Fasa’, meaning what? I’m calling on northern elders to caution them. Don’t allow these youths to take over leadership from you. You have to reach out to everybody no matter how low the person is.”
