Lagos and Kano must remain peaceful for Nigeria’s stability — Tinubu

The National leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, said that Lagos and Kano states must remain peaceful for the stability of the country.

Tinubu said this when he paid a visit to Aminu Ado Bayero, Emir of Kano, on Sunday as part of his 69th birthday celebration.

The former governor of Lagos said Kano and Lagos state, which possess common population densities and hold economic growth, must lead other parts of the country on a peaceful mission.

Tinubu said: “Nigeria is going through difficult times especially challenges of insecurity and other tough times. Yet there cannot be peace, development, and industrial growth in the country in the absence of peace and stability.

“Kano being the most populous state of the Federation has enjoyed stability and peace despite the challenges in Nigeria. The Governors have promoted unity; sustained one Nigeria in the face of difference. We must commend them.”

Responding, the Emir of Kano described Tinubu as a unifying factor and personality.

The monarch said this is evident with Tinubu’s attendance of the Arewa House Lecture in Kaduna and series of the colloquium organized which he said shows how patriotic he (Tinubu) is.

The monarch said: “We are commending you for attending Arewa House Lecture in Kaduna. This shows how patriotic you are.

“In the last five, I attended a similar Colloquium in Lagos. We saw how you (Tinubu) went round places, which shows how you’ve become a unifying factor.”
