The Sultan spoke at his palace yesterday when Acting President Yemi Osinbajo visited him.
“We will continue to serve as the voices of the voiceless and in this direction, we are calling on the federal government to look into some recent policies that will further tighten the noose on the necks of Nigerians.

He stressed that some of the policies were “still ill-timed”.
The monarch pledged to provide sustained support, prayers and wise counsel to the government, adding, “we will always work for the peace, unity, stability and the even socioeconomic development of Nigeria.
“We are also assuring the government of our sustained total support, loyalty and commitment”, and would work towards the spiritual and temporal development of Nigerians.

The Acting President underscored the importance of Sokoto in the affairs of Nigeria and pledged that the government will continue to pursue the development of agriculture and solid minerals to diversify the economy.
“The development of agriculture and agro-allied value chains are key in this direction.”
