		Being constantly engaged on a relatively narrow front, the contestants came to know the methods and tactics of their adversaries and were always striving to outwit and overreach one another.

		The second stage is that the same group, having gained the confidence of Buhari who is mistakenly thought to be in dire need of Babangida’s support, will pressurize him to withdraw from the contest.
		This is the least expected of the descendant of the most upright ideologue of the Sokoto Caliphate, Shehu Abdullahi of Gwandu.
		We respect the Emirate of Gwandu, its history and its people, but we seriously lament this misdeed and many others perpetrated by the Emir.

		The company interfered in the territory along the Niger and the Benue, sometimes becoming embroiled in serious conflicts when its British-led native constabulary intercepted slave raids or attempted to protect trade routes.
		The company negotiated treaties with Sokoto, Gwandu, and Nupe that were interpreted as guaranteeing exclusive access to trade in return for the payment of annual tribute.
		Officials of the Sokoto Caliphate considered these treaties quite differently; from their perspective, the British were granted only extraterritorial rights that did not prevent similar arrangements with the Germans and the French and certainly did not surrender sovereignty.

		Even if other emirs supported the action, they had the sense of decorum and intelligence to keep mute, especially knowing the grave future implications of the deposition to the stability and integrity of the institution and the north in general, for which we are today paying a heavy price.
		After a deep reflection of the contributions of Sarkin Gwandu Jokolo, during a two-day marathon meeting, he retired to his suite at Nicon Hilton feeling so sad and dejected.
		His royal colleagues also have the clear choice either to make resolve now to check Jokolo’s excesses, or allow him to run them over along with all that their ancestors have toiled to preserve over the centuries, and eventually end up as footnotes of history.

		He can at least advice his friend Jokolo to behave royally by keeping mute.
		As to Emir Jokolo, all I can say is that royalty can do without his royal gaffes, which tend to denigrate the Gwandu stool than serve his personal interests and the interests of his masters.
		We are scared of the man because he is himself and doesn’t suffer fools; we are scared of him because he will put a stop to the drift the country is going through; there won’t be anymore unearned cash flying around like confetti or as if money is soon going out of fashion.
