The Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, has promised to continue working closely with Christian communities in Kano State, stressing that peace, unity, and religious tolerance are essential for progress.
He made this known on Saturday while hosting leaders and elders of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), Kano State chapter, who paid him a courtesy visit at his palace.
Speaking during the meeting, the Emir shared how his early education in a Catholic school influenced his respect for people of different faiths and taught him the importance of living together peacefully.
Sanusi urged religious leaders to keep praying for lasting peace, especially in light of recent security concerns in some border areas of the state.
He also called for “stronger cooperation between different religious groups to promote unity and stability in Kano and across Nigeria.”
The Emir thanked the PFN for honouring him with a Peace Award, describing the gesture as encouraging and meaningful.
Earlier, the chairman of PFN in Kano State, Rev. Elkanah Enweluzor, said the visit was meant to show support for the Emir’s leadership and to commend his efforts toward promoting peace and harmony in the state.
