Senator Kabiru Garba Marafa, has said that the perception that everyone in Zamfara has a title is not true.
In an interview with Daily Trust, he said "Aside the titles that are hereditary, People are given titles in recognition of their contributions to the society, but these days, people take traditional titles without commensurate service to the community"
The senator explained that if people want to join politics; they rush to one village, district or emirate to get a title.
He however explained that this practice is an “in-thing” everywhere not only in Zamfara.
He pointed out that “if we want to sanitize our society, we need to go back to the era when you need to do something meaningful for the society before you are turbaned.”
