THE Emir of Kano, Aminu Bayero, has urged President Buhari to pay more attention to security, poverty, and food inflation in the country.
Bayero made this call today when he welcomed the President to his palace.
This was contained in a statement by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, titled, ‘President Buhari commends Ganduje, stresses on completing projects.’
The statement revealed that the President had arrived Kano today to perform the groundbreaking ceremony of the Kaduna-Kano rail line project.
During his visit to the state, the President also commissioned other projects and paid a visit to the Emir of Kano.
The statement partly read, “Emir Aminu Ado Bayero welcomed the President to the Palace which he said has always served as his home.
“He commended the President for carrying out so many infrastructure projects in the state and across the nation in spite of the global economic meltdown caused by the Coronavirus pandemic, but urged that more attention be paid to the problems of security, poverty and food inflation.
“He equally urged his subjects to pray and show patience and understanding towards their leaders.
“Before his presence in the Place, the President had commissioned a very impressive three-layer bridge in the city, put up by the Ganduje administration to alleviate excruciating traffic hold-up on a major road crossing beside the state Secretariat.
“President Buhari was welcomed, as usual, by mammoth crowds that lined his routes.”
