The Sultan of Sokoto, Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar III, has denied warning northerners against voting for the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and endorsing Labour Party’s Peter Obi ahead of the February 25 presidential election.
He disowned a statement quoting him as saying: “Hold me responsible if Peter Obi didn’t perform well, the problem of the North is from the north, not Peter Obi or an Igbo man, it will be worst and more deadly for the North if Tinubu wins, if they tell you an Igbo man is the problem of Nigeria, tell them Igbo man never rule Nigeria before and north is world poverty capital”.
