The Dar-ul-Ishaat Islamic Information blog transcribes a speech by Shaikh Muhammad Abdullah bin Subail, head of the Imams of the Haramain in Makkah and Madinah, delivered recently in South Africa.

This duty is not restricted to any one group. It applies to every person who has followed the path of Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) and accepted his guidance. The one who is most deserving to be called the follower of Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) and the one closest to him is that person who adheres to what has been revealed to Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) in the Holy Quran and to his Sunnah.
