The Sultan of Sokoto and President-General of the Nigeria Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs, NSCIA, Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar, on Monday, said he was performing a fatherly role without showing preference to politicians seeking elective positions in 2027.

Abubakar made the disclosure while receiving the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, presidential candidate, Peter Obi, and his running mate, Rabiu Kwankwaso, at his palace in Sokoto.

The NDC presidential candidate and his running mate were accompanied to the Sultan’s palace by the party’s Sokoto State governorship candidate, Dr Shamsu Haido, alongside other party members.

The visit was part of the delegation’s political consultations and engagements with traditional and community leaders and took place two weeks after the 2027 All Progressives Congress, APC, Presidential Campaign Council, PCC, led by its Director-General, Senator Abdul-Aziz Abubakar Yari, visited the monarch.

The APC PCC had met with the Sultan on Monday, September 14, 2026, alongside Sokoto State Governor Ahmed Aliyu, his Kebbi and Zamfara State counterparts and other members of the delegation.

However, in a statement signed by Prince Bashir Adefaka on behalf of the Media Team of the Sultan of Sokoto, the monarch was quoted as saying:

“In continuation of his commitment to providing himself as a father figure to all Nigerians aspiring to political offices in 2027 without favouritism, the Sultan of Sokoto and President-General of the Nigeria Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA), Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar, on Monday, September 28, 2026, received the presidential candidate and vice-presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Obi and Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, respectively, in his palace in Sokoto City, Sokoto State.”
