In a statement, the President joined the people and government of Sokoto State in northwest Nigeria, the Muslim community and family members of the Sultan in celebrating the unique anniversary.
As the head of Jama’atu Nasril Islam (JNI) and President-General of the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA), President Buhari affirmed that the Sultan had demonstrated uncommon leadership style, patriotism and wisdom in his consistent advocacy for security, peace and unity of Nigeria.
He believes that the wise counsels and support of the royal father on issues of good governance, girl-child education, infant and child mortality, as well as agriculture have greatly enriched his administration’s efforts to improve the livelihood of Nigerians.
The President prayed that “the almighty Allah would grant the Sultan good health and long life to continue in the service of humanity”.
