The Sultan of Sokoto, Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar, has declared that he has no favourite candidate in the 2027 presidential election.
Abubakar made the remark while denying reports of him urging
Nigerians to support President Bola Tinubu’s reelection in 2027.
Abubakar insisted that he has no favourite candidate in the
2027 presidential election.
In a statement signed by his media aide, Prince Bashir
Adefaka, the monarch said as a father to all, it’s not possible to support one
candidate over others either privately or publicly.
The statement reads partly: “The attention of the Media Team
of the Sultan of Sokoto, His Eminence, Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar, CFR,
mni, has been drawn to a report circulating on some social media platforms,
creating the impression that the Sultan has called on Nigerians to support the
re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election.
“Our simple response to the report is that it is not
possible for the Sultan, as the father of all, to make such a statement, either
publicly or in any other forum.”
The monarch noted that such reports were malicious and an
unpatriotic attempt to drag him into partisan politics for selfish interests.
He added: “The Sultan’s doors cannot be shut against anyone
who comes to him, regardless of political affiliation or persuasion. His
Eminence has consistently demonstrated that he is the father of all and will
continue to relate with all Nigerians without discrimination.”
