Sokoto Grand Vizier

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Sokoto Grand Vizier, or Wazirin Sokoto, was the Grand Vizier to the Sultan of Sokoto, the Paramount Chief of the Sokoto Caliphate and suzerain of the Usman Danfodiyo Jihad states. The position survived the fall of the empire as a largely honorary ceremonial rank in contemporary Nigeria.
