Gov. Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto State has canvassed for an amendment in the Nigerian constitution to define roles for traditional rulers in the country.

The Governor said this while inaugurating the Delta State Traditional Rulers Council Secretariat, in Asaba on Wed. He said the Northern Governors Forum has already agreed to move for the amendment of the constitution in that regard, and called on their southern counterparts to support the motion.

He applauded Gov. Okowa for his input towards the development of the state, and described him as an amiable, reliable, and performing governor, asking God to preserve, and keep him.

Responding, Gov. Okowa pledged his continued support for traditional rulers, and appreciated them for their advice, and partnership. He added that he believe traditional rulers have a place in the governance of the nation, and attributed his administrations success to the support of the monarchs who has maintained peace in their domain.

Delta traditional rulers have never criticised us publicly, but they will rather send delegations to us to advise us on certain critical issues, and i must thank you publicly for this the Governor said.
