President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday broke his fast with traditional rulers, including Muhammadu Sanusi, emir of Kano.

Among the traditional leaders who joined the president for the Ramadan breakfast were Sa’ad Abubakar, sultan of Sokoto; Adeyeye Ogunwusi, ooni of Ife; Yahaya Abubakar, the etsu Nupe James Ayatse, and Tor Tiv.

Government officials, including Abba Kyari, chief of staff to the president, as well as some presidential aides were among those at the event.

This is the first time that Sanusi would be seen publicly with the president since Abdullahi Ganduje, governor of Kano, broke the emirate into five.

The move was believed to be targetted at the monarch who didn’t support his reelection.
