| Sanusi greeting Jonathan in Aso Rock |
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.
