Sultan sokoto no right declare public holiday christian group

I think there may be some confusion here.

Sultan Abubakar III of Sokoto is the spiritual leader of the Nigerian Muslim community, not a government official. He has the right to declare a public holiday for Muslims in Nigeria, as is the tradition in many Muslim-majority countries.

However, it's important to note that the declaration of public holidays is typically the responsibility of the government, not religious leaders. In Nigeria, the government declares public holidays, and these are usually based on national events, festivals, or religious celebrations.

In this case, the Sultan's declaration of a public holiday for Eid al-Fitr, a significant Islamic holiday, is a traditional practice that is recognized and respected by the Nigerian government. The government may also declare a public holiday on the same day to allow citizens to celebrate the holiday.

It's also important to recognize that Christians in Nigeria have their own holidays and celebrations, which are also recognized and respected by the government. The declaration of public holidays is not limited to one religion or group, but is intended to promote national unity and harmony.

In summary, while the Sultan of Sokoto has the right to declare a public holiday for Muslims in Nigeria, the declaration of public holidays is ultimately the responsibility of the government, and both Muslims and Christians in Nigeria have their own holidays and celebrations that are recognized and respected by the government.
