President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday
welcomed traditional rulers in the country to
the “Next Level”, urging them to be prepared to
play a crucial role in the prevention and
detection of criminal activities in their domains.

Speaking while receiving members of the
National Council of Traditional Rulers led by the
Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad
Abubakar III, at State House, Abuja, the
President noted that involving the royal fathers
had become necessary in view of the deep knowledge of their localities.

According to him, “You know all the families
who harbour criminals and you know those
who produce respectable individuals. You
know the weaknesses of our society. We need
your support to consolidate our achievements.”

President Buhari listed several significant efforts
by his administration to enhance national
security while emphasising the overall need for
stability in the country.

“What we need now is your support. No
government can serve creditably without your
support. We will always count on your
support,” he told the traditional rulers.

The President also welcomed the royal fathers
to his “second and final term, at the end of
which I will, God willing, go to Daura and settle
down.”

The Sultan of Sokoto and Co-Chairman of the
Council, told President Buhari that the body “on
behalf of all the Traditional Rulers in Nigeria, is
here to congratulate you on your re-election as
the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”

Urging “all Nigerians to accept the election
result as the will of God,” the Sultan assured the
President of the traditional rulers’ “continued
unflinching support in your laudable projects,
particularly your government’s cardinal
objectives of fighting corruption, containing insecurity, generally sanitizing the governance
machinery, entrenching discipline, hard work
and peaceful co-existence amongst the
citizenry.”

The Co-Chairman of the Council and Ooni of Ife,
Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi Ojaja II, assured
President Buhari that their members would
work very closely with his administration to
fight criminal activities.

The Ooni urged the re-elected Nigerian leader to
be a President for the whole nation and father
to all citizens.
