Gambari to lead Buharis team to States

In order to be able to address the demands of youths in the country, effectively, President Muhammadu Buhari has begged traditional rulers to support his administration.

At a meeting in the State House with a delegation of the National Council of Traditional Rulers of Nigeria led by the Sultan of Sokoto, His Eminence, Alh. (Dr.) Muhammadu Saad Abubakar III, the President told the royal fathers that we have heard the loud cries of our youth and children, and we are attending to their concerns. 

He, however, stressed that To succeed in all of this, we would require your support and voice to help amplify the message. Your proximity to the people places you in a unique position to communicate and ensure that our response is targeted and impactful.

Describing their role as guardians of our traditional values and culture as most critical, the President urged them not to compromise their neutrality because this is what significantly confers on you, your moral authority and legitimacy. 

According to President Buhari, his Chief of Staff, Prof. Ibrahim Gambari, would lead senior government officials to various parts of the country and directly engage with you as part of this process. He will be reporting back to me on your various perspectives. 

Recognizing the primary and important role of the monarchs in helping maintain peace and security in the country, the President expressed delight at their visit given all that has happened recently in our country”.
