The Sokoto state Governor, Aminu Tambuwal has called on Nigerians to keep praying for President Buhari’s full recovery.

Buhari returned to Nigeria on Friday, March 10, 2017, after spending 49 days in London, reportedly due to some medical issues.

Tambuwal said this on Tuesday, March 14, 2017, while speaking to members of the Forum of Directors of Social Communication of the Catholic Church led by the Bishop of Sokoto Diocese of the Catholic Church, Bishop Matthew Hassan Kukah.

The Sokoto Governor also called on the religious leaders to promote peaceful co-existence among people of different faith.

Tambuwal said “The nation will remain grateful for the fervent prayers you have embarked upon while the President was away receiving medical attention.

“Along with our Muslim brothers, we all prayed and it is gratifying to note that our prayers have been answered. We should not relent on that.”

“We believe the whole country can learn from our rich history of tolerance and moderation. I’m happy you have chosen Sokoto for your meeting.
