Respect and Dignity: A Call to Honour the Sultan of Sokoto
Reno Omokri’s statement highlights the esteemed position of Sultan Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar III as a champion of peaceful coexistence and ethnic harmony in Nigeria. As the Sultan of Sokoto and Sarkin Musulumi, he has demonstrated exceptional leadership by promoting interfaith understanding and national stability.
Omokri emphasizes that the Sultan has never been known to castigate other faiths or instigate Muslims against their neighbors, earning him respect in both Christian and Muslim circles. His commitment to maintaining peace and stability in Nigeria is undeniable.
However, some individuals have expressed concerns that the Sultan’s involvement in the Sharia matter in the Southwest may be perceived as overstepping his boundaries. They argue that the Southwest is a culturally and religiously diverse region that does not require external interference

Despite these concerns, Omokri urges Nigerians to exercise respect and dignity when addressing the Sultan, emphasizing the importance of cultural sophistication and emotional intelligence. He reminds us that, as Omoluabi, we should strive to maintain a level of decorum and respect, even when disagreeing with others.
Ultimately, Omokri’s statement serves as a reminder of the Sultan’s remarkable contributions to Nigeria’s peace and stability, and the need for respectful dialogue and cultural understanding in our diverse society.
EXCERPT
The Sultan of Sokoto and Sarkin Musulumi, His Eminence, Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar III, is not just a traditional ruler, he is also a religious leader, who has been more responsible than anybody alive in Nigeria today, for helping to maintain peaceful religious coexistence, and ethnic harmony in our nation.
He has been consistently apolitical and regularly demonstrates fidelity to the stability of Nigeria.
Calmly reflect on what I just wrote. When have you ever seen His Eminence castigate other faiths or instigate Muslims against their neighbours? He does not do it. He has never done it. He is well-reputed in both Christian and Muslim circles for being an instrument for Nigeria’s peace, progress and prosperity.
Therefore, no matter your feelings and your opinions on this Sharia matter in the Southwest, please exercise the highest level of honour and dignity to his person.
There are two things that Omo-Ti-Olu Iwa-Bi value highly: respect for age and position. His Eminence has both.
As an Omoluabi, you are not an alaileko who can insult anybody and lacks the diction and emotional intelligence to express yourself without getting into the gutter. Differentiate yourself from those low-cultured individuals by showing your level of cultural sophistication in the manner you address elderly people who happen to be in authority.
Please utilise the ethos of Iwa, and even if you must disagree, do so without being disagreeable and disrespectful of an institution that has helped stabilise Nigeria in peacetime and war.
May God bless Sultan Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar III, and may God bless Nigeria.
