Niger Republic: Peller hails Sanusi’s peace effort

The Ayedero of Yoruba land, Shina Peller, on Friday commended a former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and the 14th Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, for taking a courageous action in bridging nations for peace amidst the turmoil in Niger Republic.

Peller in a statement shared on his verified social media platforms described Sanusi Lamido as an “inspiring and courageous leader who strives to make a difference beyond borders in ensuring that democracy is restored to Niger Republic peacefully.”

“HRH Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, the 14th Emir of Kano, is truly an inspiring leader making a difference beyond borders. Amidst the turmoil in Niger Republic, this remarkable Leader fearlessly takes action, bridging nations for peace.

“Leadership is not just about holding positions in Government, but about taking responsibility and making a positive impact. It’s about stepping up, even in challenging times, to bring about change and inspire others to do the same. Dialogue and diplomacy are what we need to restore democracy to the Niger Republic,” he said.

Peller emphasised that dialogue and diplomacy were the best tools needed to restore democracy to Niger Republic and that the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), chaired by Nigeria’s president, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, “should keep intensifying its diplomatic effort in restoring democracy to the country peacefully.”
