The Emir of Bichi, Dr Nasiru Ado Bayero, has expressed gratitude to Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State for the peace the northern community has been enjoying under his administration. Dr Bayero stated this Sunday when he visited Gov Ugwuanyi at the Government House, Enugu.

The Emir, who is the younger brother of the emir of Kano, Aminu Ado Bayero, reassured the governor that ‘back in Kano State, we will protect your interest; we will make sure that any Igbo man or any other Nigerian who lives Kano is safe’.

He said the Ugwuanyi administration’s commitment toward national integration and peaceful co-existence of all Nigerians in Enugu State, irrespective of tribe, religion and political differences, was ‘well acknowledged’, adding that, ‘we will not forget that; we will be grateful to you forever’.

He also appreciated the traditional rulers in Enugu State, stressing that based on ‘your relationship with the northern community in your own local communities, our reports from them have been positive; so we are very grateful’.

He added that ‘our relationship has grown beyond now, and we will not allow this to grow any bad situation’, lauding the governor for his hospitality and uncommon leadership style anchored on peace, security, inclusive and good governance.

He further narrated the enduring relationship his late father, Alhaji Ado Bayero, enjoyed with his Igbo friends, especially when he was the chancellor of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, for over 20 years.

He said his visit was ‘to build that bridge between the northern Nigeria and this part of Nigeria, the east; we shall continue to build that bridge; we shall continue to make sure that Nigeria remains one and despite all of these, we shall remain brothers by the grace of God’.

Gov Ugwuanyi assured the emir of the sustained peace in the state, urging all Nigerians to embrace peace for cordial relationships among all.
