He said the Sultan came to express support for the measures taken to promote peace in Kaduna State.
“ He came on a private visit to talk to me, to advise me, to guide me and also expressed his support for our efforts at bringing peace to Kaduna State.
“He is happy that many people have come, all talking about peace and felt he should not be left out, particularly in light of our historical relationship not only as Barewa old boys but as my elder brother.”
