Nineteen traditional rulers consisting of district and ward heads in Sabon Birni Local Government Area of Sokoto State have resigned their positions and declared their support for Senator Ibrahim Lamido.

The traditional rulers that resigned included ward heads of Sabon Birnin Gabas, Tsilba, Sabon Garin Danbaki, Magajin Dawakin, Dan Faru, Zumbuli, Dawakin, Kanwuri, Hande, Sabon Fegi, Tudun Dankusu and Alhazzai among others.

The leaders at a press conference today in Sokoto, said they decided to support the senator because of his drive in curtailing insecurity in their villages.

The mass resignation of traditional titles comes after the resignation of the District Head of Sabon Birni, Abdullahi Muhammad Bawa.

In the letter which he personally signed, Bawa said he resigned to show solidarity with Lamido who he said showed more concern for the people.

Lauwali Shuaibu, the ward head of Taka-Tsaba, said their decision to drop their titles was in appreciation of Lamido’s commitment towards improving their wellbeing, noting that he always comes to our rescue whenever bandits attack our people.

He continued; “Our support will encourage Senator Lamido to continue with the good work he has been doing to our people.”

According to one of the community leaders who vacated their titles, Alhaji Murtala Ubandoman Gobir in Sabon Birnin local government, said he and many others have relinquished their titles in support of Senator Ibrahim Lamido for his development initiatives and his quest to free the area from the shackles of banditry and kidnappings.

“It’s a well-known fact that Sen Lamido brought Civilian JTF all the way from Maiduguri to fight bandits in Isa and Sabon Birni local government areas worst hit by banditry, and they have been recording success. As communities, we are living comfortably with them.”

“Imagine the majority of our village communities in Sokoto East; after investing so much on our farmlands, we cannot have access to harvest our crops due to banditry.”

“I have paid so many ransoms for my brothers and my family members, and as I am talking to you, my son is in the hands of kidnappers; I have nothing to secure his freedom.”
