Below MPAC full statement
In the Name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful.
*The Sultan of Sokoto is Alive and Well*
(Lagos, 29th October, 2024). The Muslim Public Affairs Centre (MPAC) wishes to notify the Ummah and address recent unfounded rumors concerning the supposed passing of His Eminence, the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar III. We unequivocally affirm that, Alhamdulillah, the Sultan is alive, in good health, and fully engaged in his esteemed responsibilities as a spiritual guide to millions in Nigeria and beyond.
We urge the public to disregard the malicious rumors and to remain vigilant in verifying news sources. Such rumors only serve to distract and mislead. The Sultan’s leadership and contributions to promoting peace, unity, and Islamic values in Nigeria are invaluable, and we will not let false information tarnish his reputation. May Allah protect and preserve our leaders and inspire us all to uphold truth and respect in every word and action.
We also note that the Sokoto State Government has previously denied any plans to dethrone the Sultan, describing such allegations as false. The government has reassured the public that the law guiding the appointment of traditional rulers in the state remains unchanged.
MPAC’s Position:
•⁠ ⁠We stand in solidarity with the Sultan and the Sokoto Emirate Council.
•⁠ ⁠We condemn the spread of false information and its potential to cause harm.
•⁠ ⁠We reaffirm our commitment to promoting truth, peace, and understanding.
We call on the law enforcement agencies to investigate the sources of these malicious rumors, identify and prosecute the perpetrators and take measures to prevent future occurrences. Lastly, we call on the public to verify information through credible sources and to report any suspicious activities to the authorities. Let us work together to maintain peace and stability in our communities.
