During the recent BBNaija eviction live show, although no eviction took place, host Ebuka captivated audiences with a bold fashion statement inspired by the late HRH Muhammadu Maccido. The look, masterfully recreated by Ugo Monye and shot by Ola Dayo, paid homage to the revered 19th Sultan of Sokoto, blending traditional royal aesthetics with modern flair.

HRH Muhammadu Maccido, who was first elected Sultan in November 1988, faced political turmoil when his appointment was overturned by the military just three days later, leading to his exile. Despite this, he returned to reclaim his title in April 1996, solidifying his influence and legacy as the 19th Sultan of Sokoto.

Ebuka’s elegant attire celebrates not only the Sultan’s regal presence but also his resilience and dedication to leadership until his tragic death in a plane crash in October 2006. This powerful tribute connects Nigeria’s rich cultural heritage with contemporary entertainment, resonating deeply with viewers and history enthusiasts alike.
