In a statement titled, “HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO HIS EMINENCE AT 65”, personally signed by the near nanogenarian made available to The DEFENDER o Tuesday, the Sultan’s role in patriotically working with government to keep Nigeria together as a united entity for the good of all was highlighted.

The Olori Omo Oba of Owu Kingdom said: “I congratulate His Eminence Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar, the Sultan of Sokoto, as he clocks 65 today 24 August, 2021.
“While I acknowledge that as leader of Muslims he does not celebrate birthday, I however believe that, since there can be no better time to roll out our appreciation of his majestic and patriotic place in the sustained unity of Nigeria, despite challenges, this day of his birth anniversary is worth a mention.
“We congratulate His Eminence and pray for Allah’s mercy on him as we say Happy birthday, long life and prosperity to him,” Bola Ajibola said.
