Sultan Urges Traditional Rulers To Document their History








原文原文 / Original Text

The Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar III, has urged traditional institutions across the country to document their history themselves rather than allow outsiders to distort their heritage.

The Sultan made the call on Wednesday in Zaria at the presentation of a book title “Emirs of Zazzau” a Biographical study from 1800-2925, as part of activities marking the sixth anniversary of the enthronement of the Emir of Zazzau, Amb. Ahmed Nuhu Bamalli.

He commended the Emir for documenting the history of the emirate, describing the initiative as an important step towards preserving the identity and heritage of the people.

According to him, traditional institutions must take ownership of their history because they are better positioned to tell their stories accurately.

“You cannot allow someone to write your own history. You have to write your own history as it is because you know more than any other person,” he said.

The Sultan recalled that he had earlier challenged the Emir to emulate him by documenting the history of the Sokoto Caliphate, noting that he had published his own book, Sultans of Sokoto, many years ago.

He said the Zazzau history book was particularly significant because historians from the emirate’s four dynasties were involved in its production.

He also challenged other emirates across the country to undertake similar projects to ensure that their histories were properly documented for present and future generations.
