Atiku, who commenced the visit by paying homage on the Emir, said the visit was to seek royal blessings and intimate him on his outing.

“My visit here is a homecoming, but it has been a tradition of our campaign programmes to seek for the blessings, advice and guidance of our royal fathers.

“I’m also here to congratulate and rejoice with you on the conferment of national honour given to you by the president.

“With this visit, we hope to boost and strengthen our campaign activities geared towards national unity and development,” he said.

Earlier, the Director General of the campaign team and Governor of Sokoto state, Alhaji Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, said as the party commenced its political activities, it needs and requires blessings from traditional leaders, hence the visit.

“By this, we hope to receive guidance and prayers to enable us succeed in our campaign activities.” He stated.

Responding, the Emir advised politicians to play by the rule of the game and avoid comments and utterance that may jeopardize the national unity.
