Monarchs from the North under the umbrella of Northern Traditional Council led by the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar have told the Federal Government that unless the necessary action is taken, insecurity, poverty and unemployment in Nigeria and North in particular, have made Nigeria sit on a keg of gunpowder, ready to explode.
The Sultan spoke on Wednesday at the Arewa House, Kaduna during the 6th executive Northern Traditional Council committee meeting, where he told the Federal Government that the traditional rulers, religious leaders as well as State governors have been pacifying the masses and the jobless youth from revolting against political leaders at the helm of affairs.

“It is getting to a level that traditional leaders could no longer pacify the people from revolting against government and political leaders that supposed to find solutions to their lingering socio-economic plight,” he said.
“And let’s not take it for granted; people are quiet, they are quiet for a reason, because people have been talking to them.; we have been talking to them, we have been trying to tell them things will be be okay and they keep on believing. I pray to Almighty Allah that they will not one day wake up and say we no longer believe in you. Because that would be the biggest problem, because we can’t quieten these people as traditional, spiritual leaders and diplomats forever.”
