| Mustapha Jokolo opined that the North is finished without oil, seaport and the Igbos |
Alhaji Al-Mustapha Jokolo was the former Emir of Gwandu. When Jokolo speaks, you could pick the brains of the Northern Oligarchy. Gwandu Emirate is the second after the Sokoto Emirate in the lineage of the Hausa-Fulani Caliphate. Both directly originates from the Muhammadu Dan Fodio dynasty who were the founders of the Sokoto Calipahte. While the Sokoto ruling class descends from Usman Dan Fodio, the Gwandu Emirate descends from Abdullahi Fodio, Usman's brother. In addition, Jokolo, who retired as a major was the aide-de-camp to former head of State, General Muhammad Buhari.
