Gov Matawalle distributes 260 cars to traditional rulers

Governor Bello Mohammed has distributed 260 cars to all the traditional rulers in the state just as he commissioned the ultra-modern headquarters of the state Council of Ulama in the state.

The distribution and commissioning was performed by the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar 111 at the Government House in Gusau on Wednesday.

The Sultan expressed his gratitude to Governor Matawalle for his concern for the welfare of one of the important institutions which is the traditional institution as according to him, it still remains the bastion of hope that holds our society together.

In a statement issued by the Special Adviser Media, Zailani Bappa said the Sultan called on the beneficiaries of the gesture to continue in their support to the administration of Governor Matawalle by rendering their best in ending the challenges facing the people.

In his own remarks, Governor Matawalle said the gesture was done in recognition of the status of the traditional institutions as the custodians of our religion and culture and vehicle of cohesion and peace in our societies.

“It is in view of the high esteem with which my administration regards our traditional leaders and institutions that we decided to procure brand new cars, Cadillac 2019 Model, for 17 Emirs, 13 Senior District Heads and 230 District Heads across the State,” the Governor revealed.

Governor Matawalle assured that his administration will continue to work with traditional and religious leaders to ensure lasting peace and harmony in the state.
