The Sultan of Sokoto, Sa’ad Abubakar III has conferred the title of “Shettiman Sakkwato” on Governor Bello Matawalle of Zamfara State.
In a letter conveying the decision of the Sultanate Council to Governor Matawalle, and signed by the Sultan himself, the Sultanate said the title was conferred on him due to his respect and attention accorded the traditional institutions over time.
“We noted with satisfaction your administration has accorded high level of respect and attention to the traditional institution which brought about an exceptionally improved relationship between the Sultanate Council and your administration”, the Sultanate noted.
The letter further said the Sultanate was impressed with the achievements of Mr Matawalle on security which brought about semblance of peace and stability to the state.
It would be recalled that the Daura Emirate, which is assumed as the cradle of all Hausa states, also conferred on Governor Matawalle the title of Barden Hausa which the Emir said was after consultation with all the traditional Hausa states.
