The Emir of Kano, Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero, on Thurday urged President Muhammadu Buhari to devise means to ease the suffering of Nigerians.
The emir made the plea when he received the president at his palace after commissioning the Kano-Kaduna rail project in the state.
He said the present economic situation in the country is inflicting untold hardship on Nigerians.
The monarch also called on the president to intensify efforts in tackling insecurity in the country.
“We are hoping the presidential aides would continue to advise the president on the condition and wellbeing of the poor masses, especially in those aspects where he would need to be informed on certain developments for necessary action. This is a responsibility upon us which we need to discharge accordingly.
“We often pray for divine intervention for our country. To the followers, we urged them to sustain constant prayers for the leaders and pray to God to heal our land from COVID-19 pandemic.
“We commend the president for the infrastructural development across the country particularly those sited in Kano just as the governor listed some of such projects despite the shortfalls in the global economy.”
