| Sultan of Sokoto Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar |
The Northern Elders Forum said yesterday that it walked out a government delegation from its meeting with Northern Traditional Rulers in Kaduna because they were not invited.
Sultan of Sokoto Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar diplomatically walked out the delegation to avoid chaos, when tempers rose.
Forum’s Deputy National Chair Paul Unongo said they wrote to rulers requesting a meeting, but were surprised to see uninvited guests.
The NEF wrote to the Northern Traditional Council for a meeting on insecurity, unemployment and poverty in the North.
The December 2 letter was signed by Chairman of the Forum Yusuf Maitama Sule.
Unongo said they were surprised to see the National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, represented by Gen Sarki Yaki Bello (rtd), Governors Isa Yuguda (Bauchi), Saidu Dakingari (Kebbi), Muazu Aliyu Babangida (Niger), represented by his deputy, Ahmed Musa Ibeto, and Muhktar Ramalan Yero (Kaduna) at the meeting.
