Former Central Bank Governor, Lamido Sanusi,
yesterday visited President Goodluck Jonathan
for the first time, since he became the Emir of
Kano.
Sanusi, who said a special prayer for peace at
Jonathan’s residence was one of the northern
traditional rulers, led by the Sultan of Sokoto,
Sa’ad Abubakar III to join the president at the
Presidential Villa, Abuja for the breaking of
Ramadan fast.
Speaking at the occasion, Abubakar
condemned the twin blasts recorded in
Kaduna yesterday as well as other acts of
violence across the country.
The Sultan described perpetrators as enemies
of humanity, saying they and their sponsors
had no Islamic agenda.
He requested that the President should grant
the traditional rulers an audience in the
nearest future in order to discuss issues of
national importance.
The President granted the request
immediately.
In his short remarks, Jonathan urged the
traditional rulers to join hands with his
administration to end insurgency.
“It could have been worse than this if not for
prayers. We will surely get over it. We are
doing our best to ensure we end this situation
and with the support of Nigerians, we shall
surely overcome,” he concluded.
