From Suleiman Abubakar MAPSA
The Muslim Public Affairs Centre (MPAC) has officially addressed recent rumors regarding the health of His Eminence, the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa'ad Abubakar III, confirming that he is alive, healthy, and actively fulfilling his duties as a spiritual leader for millions.
In a statement released today, MPAC urged the public to disregard the unfounded claims about the Sultan's death, emphasizing the importance of verifying information through credible sources. These rumors, they argue, are not only misleading but also undermine the Sultan's contributions to peace and unity within the Muslim community in Nigeria.
Furthermore, the Sokoto State Government has previously dismissed allegations of any plans to dethrone the Sultan, reiterating that the laws governing the appointment of traditional rulers remain unchanged.
MPAC's Key Messages:
Solidarity with the Sultan and the Sokoto Emirate Council.
Condemnation of false information that could lead to public distress.
A commitment to truth, peace, and understanding in the community.
MPAC has also called on law enforcement agencies to investigate the origins of these rumors and hold accountable those responsible for spreading misinformation. They encourage the public to report suspicious activities and remain vigilant against false narratives.
As the community comes together, MPAC urges everyone to prioritize truth and respect in all communications.
