President Muhammadu Buhari has congratulated Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero, the Emir of Kano, on the conferment on him of the highest honour of the Republic of Senegal, the “National Order of Lion.”
The President’s congratulatory message was made available to the media in a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu yesterday.
The honour was conferred on him by President Macky Sall at the Presidential Residence in Dakar, in the course of the Emir’s recent visit to the country.
President Buhari said the honour on the Emir was richly deserved and commended his Senegalese counterpart for spotting the inherent qualities of the traditional head of the most populous northern city.
