Marafan Sokoto’s Legacy Honored
From One Marafan to the Next
Femi Fani-Kayode celebrates Alhaji Umaru Shinkafi, the late Marafan Sokoto, as one of Nigeria’s most impactful leaders. Shinkafi, a revered lawyer and police chief, led the Nigerian Security Organisation in 1979 during President Shagari’s tenure. He cemented the North-South-West bridge. The author praises Senator Abdul Aziz Yari, now the new Marafan, for continuing this vital legacy.
