Buhari greets Sultan at 65
President Muhammadu Buhari has felicitated with the Sultan of Sokoto, Muhammadu Sa’ad Abubakar III, on his 65th birthday.
He joined the Sultanate, family members and religious leaders in the country to celebrate with the 20th Sultan, who was born on August 24.
Congratulating the spiritual leader for close to 15 years of guiding the Muslim community, the President noted the fatherly role of the Sultan in speaking up and providing for the poor and underprivileged, while interfacing with other religious leaders as Co-Chair of the Nigeria Inter-Religious Council (NIREC) to promote harmony, oneness and peaceful co-existence.
