President Muhammadu Buhari has implored Nigerians of all tribe to show more unity and understanding as he addressed the Tijjaniyya Shura Council at the Presidential Villa.

“I am grateful for the prayers and words of encouragement,” he said,
In his remarks, leader of the Tijjaniyya, Sheikh Ibrahim Shiekh Maihula, said, “our desire is to live in a country that is peaceful and economically vibrant, and we will keep praying for you and members of your administration.”
Shiekh Maihula said peace and economic prosperity were not negotiable for the unity of the country, urging the president to remain focused and steadfast in pursuing the policies he had outlined.
