Sultan remains apolitical – Sultanate Council

The Sultanate Council, Sokoto on Thursday said it has noted with concern some negative publications against the Sultan of Sokoto, Muhammadu Sa’ad Abubakar III and the Council on certain national and state political issues.

A statement signed by the Secretary of the Council, Umar Ladan noted that neither the Sultan nor any member of the Council belongs to any political party.

“We do not have any contestant to any elective post. The Council does not hold any ally and will not in any form interfere on political and electoral issue,” the statement said.

SPONSOR AD

It added that whoever did have done so on his own volition and not the Sultan nor the Sultanate Council.

The statement averred that the Sultan and the council believe in the rule of law, justice and fairness in all our affairs.

On the recently conducted general election, it said that whosoever felt aggrieved was free to seek redress in the court of law.

“The council remains apolitical and will continue to play its role in the provision of traditional and spiritual leadership for the peaceful coexistence of all Nigeria,” it asserted.
