The Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammad Sa'ad Abubakar, has distanced himself from a viral statement where he purportedly asked Nigerians to hold him responsible if the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, did not perform well if he is elected president in the forthcoming election.
A statement titled “BREAKING: SULTAN OF SOKOTO WRITES,” with the first paragraph reading,"Hold me responsible if Peter Obi didn't perform well, the problem of the North is from the north, not Peter Obi or an Igbo man, it will be worst and more deadly for the North if Tinubu wins, if they tell you an Igbo man is the problem of Nigeria, tell them Igbo man never rule Nigeria before and north is world poverty capital," has gone viral on social media.
”The statement explained that between Wednesday and Thursday, the Sultan played host to several figures including the outgoing and new General Officers Commanding , Eighth Division Nigerian Army, Sokoto, Major Generals O. Bassey and Godwin Mutkut respectively, and Vice Presidential Candidate of the All Progressives Congress , Senator Kashim Shettima.
