On his way to Zamfara, Shehu met Moyijo at a village called Magabci where they discussed important issues related to Islam and calling people towards Islam. Their meeting point is historically marked and even today the acclaimed Sheik Fodiyo's well and a tree under which Sheik Fodiyo teaches his followers still exist in Magabcci. In view of his vast knowledge in both Islamic teachings, administration and defence, Moyijo was appointed as the leader as well as the Flag bearer in-charge of Kebbi.[2] Until today, the title of king/ruler of Yabo is SARKIN KEBBIN YABO [The leader of Kebbi].
