It is time for you to reorganize and re-strategize and have an excellent leadership in this great country,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>The Sultan explained that leadership is from Almighty Allah, adding that \u201cHe expects us to be just, fair and equitable to all. We should know that one day we will all give an account of our stewardship in the hereafter. It is important for us to discharge our leadership responsibility to the best of our ability and leave the rest to Him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Sultan also charged leaders at all levels not to allow the prayers of the oppressed Nigerians to go up to God which may lead to negative consequences against them.<\/p><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">He added that leaders should always strive to do what the people want because it was the main reason they were voted into power by the people, stressing that what was needed in the country is excellent and purposeful leadership.<\/p>\n<p>He stated that, \u201cThere is the need to promote peace and peaceful co-existence in the country because it is only in an atmosphere of peace and tranquillity that development and progress can be made. If you see how we relate during our interfaith meeting, you will understand the essence of peace and peaceful co-existence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In his remark, the Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, thanked the Sultan for honouring the invitation and disclosed that the camp was constructed at a cost of N658 million with all the facilities it contained.<\/p>\n<p>Mohammed added that the camp would be put to commercial use in order to make it self-sustaining.<\/p>\n<p>He stated that the camp is for both Muslims and Christians.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>His Eminence, the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammad Sa\u2019ad Abubakar lll, has decried that some few elite who think that they must control Nigeria are planning to dismantle the country.&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":81851,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-81850","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Insecurity: Some elite working hard to dismantle Nigeria - Sultan\u00a0 - Pointblank News<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/pointblanknews.com\/pbn\/news\/insecurity-some-elite-working-hard-to-dismantle-nigeria-sultan\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Insecurity: Some elite working hard to dismantle Nigeria - Sultan\u00a0 - Pointblank News\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"His Eminence, the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammad Sa\u2019ad Abubakar lll, has decried that some few elite who think that they must control Nigeria are planning to dismantle the country.&hellip;\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/pointblanknews.com\/pbn\/news\/insecurity-some-elite-working-hard-to-dismantle-nigeria-sultan\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Pointblank News\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2021-06-08T08:55:09+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2021-06-09T06:59:32+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/pointblanknews.com\/pbn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Sultan-of-Sokoto.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"660\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"387\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Our Reporter\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Our Reporter\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/pointblanknews.com\/pbn\/news\/insecurity-some-elite-working-hard-to-dismantle-nigeria-sultan\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/pointblanknews.com\/pbn\/news\/insecurity-some-elite-working-hard-to-dismantle-nigeria-sultan\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Our Reporter\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/pointblanknews.com\/pbn\/#\/schema\/person\/ba61acbe7e8967bcf3f3ba603d9db23c\"},\"headline\":\"Insecurity: Some elite working hard to dismantle Nigeria &#8211;
