Yes

All traditional heads including the Sultan of Sokoto, Ooni, Oba, Obi, Edidem are all under the Commissioner of Chieftaincy in the respective states

the sooner this part of culture /government is understood by all the better for our democracy,
abacha took it to another level the other day by reading the riot act when he banned the oni/lamido.
a weaker government and a stronger tradition will always distort our constitution.
