description: "Abdullahi ɗan Fodio, was a prominent Islamic scholar, jurist, poet, grammarian, and theologian, and the first Amir of Gwandu and first Wazirin Sokoto. His brother, Usman dan Fodio (1754–1817) was the founder of the Sokoto Caliphate. Usman, being more of a scholar than politician, delegated the practical regency of the western part of his empire to Abdullahi and the eastern part to his son Muhammed Bello, who later became the Sultan of Sokoto after his father."
