President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Friday met with the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar III, at the State House in Abuja as part of ongoing efforts to strengthen national unity and promote peace across the country.
The closed-door meeting came days after the President received the Archbishop of Abuja, Most Rev. Ignatius Ayau Kaigama, in the same venue. Presidency officials said both meetings form part of Tinubu’s consultations with key religious and traditional leaders to foster dialogue and rebuild trust among Nigeria’s diverse communities.
The Special Assistant to the President on Social Media, Dada Olusegun, shared video clips of the meetings on his X (formerly Twitter) page, describing them as part of the President’s efforts “to promote peace, national cohesion, and mutual understanding.”
According to sources within the Presidency, the discussions focused on consolidating peace, strengthening interfaith relations, and addressing emerging social challenges.
Officials added that the engagements reflect the President’s Renewed Hope Agenda, which emphasizes inclusivity, dialogue, and unity as key pillars for national stability and sustainable development.
