President Bola Tinubu, on Friday, met with the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar III, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, amid growing international pressure following the United States’ renewed designation of Nigeria as a “country of particular concern.”
The meeting, described as “crucial,” was held in the President’s office at Aso Rock. The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, accompanied the Sultan to the meeting, which sources said formed part of Tinubu’s ongoing consultations with religious and traditional leaders across the country.
