It is requested that a picture or pictures of this person be included in this article to improve its quality. Note: Wikipedia's non-free content use policy almost never permits the use of non-free images (such as promotional photos, press photos, screenshots, book covers and similar) to merely show what a living person looks like. Efforts should be made to take a free licensed photo during a public appearance, or obtaining a free content release of an existing photo instead.

I think we should move this to Saadu Abubakar or Saad Abubakar. Is "Sada" something he uses, or was this just a typo on the BBC site that is being propagated? I'll investigate.

I've moved it to Sa’adu Abubakar; this seems to be what he uses. Picaroon 21:36, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Date of birth

Though the BBC gives 1953 as his year of birth, the Daily Independent (Lagos) seems to know better: it gives his date of birth as August 24, 1956 (Sultan Abubakar’s Visit To Abeokuta, February 28, 2007).--Ankimai 10:49, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

I think we should go with what the Independent says. In addition, this page says he is 53 years old; maybe the BBC just got confused. Picaroon 21:36, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
