He called on the Sultan to continue to leverage his esteemed position and considerable influence to further the cause of peace, unity, and progress, not just within the Sokoto caliphate and the North, but across the entire nation.
The Governor prayed to Almighty Allah to bless His Eminence with many more years of good health and wisdom to continue his invaluable service to the Muslim Ummah, the nation, and humanity at large.
