President Goodluck Jonathan and a former Central Bank Governor, Lamido
Sanusi, met for the first time since he (Sanusi) became the Emir of Kano.
The former CBN
boss was one of the northern traditional rulers who joined President Jonathan
in the Presidential Villa, Abuja, for the breaking of Ramadan fast.
The
traditional rulers were led by the Sultan of Sokoto, Sa’ad Abubakar III.
Sanusi led
others in a special prayer for peace during the short event held inside the
President’s residence.
The President
later took turns to shake hands with all the traditional rulers in attendance,
including Sanusi.
Abubakar, who
spoke on behalf of his colleagues, condemned the bomb blasts recorded in Kaduna,
as well as other acts of violence across the country.
While
describing the perpetrators as enemies of humanity, he insisted that 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, President Jonathan urged the traditional rulers to team up with his
administration to end insurgency.
While seeking
for more prayers, he said that the situation could have been worse if not for
prayers.
