Gidado dan Laima (1817–1842) also known as Waziri Gidado was the first known Grand Vizier of the Sokoto Caliphate, he was vizier of Sokoto during the sultanship of Muhammed Bello.[1] He was the founder of the popular line of viziers known as the Gidado line; some of his descendants include Waziri Junaid and Abd al-Qadir (Sokoto), and in extension, Gidado Idris who was once Nigeria’s Secretary to the Government.
Gidado was succeeded by Abd al-Qadir (Sokoto) (1842–1859) in 1842. During Hugh Clapperton's stay in Sokoto, he was under the care of his family.
