JUST IN: Emir Sanusi visits Olubadan in Ibadan

Emir Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, the ruler of Kano, paid a visit to the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rashidi Ladoja, in the capital city of Ibadan on Sunday. The purpose of the meeting was to foster a stronger bond between the Yoruba and Hausa ethnic groups in Nigeria. The Emir, accompanied by a large group of followers, arrived at the Oke-Aremo palace, the residence of the Olubadan.

With a warm smile, he declared, "It is a great pleasure for me to visit the Olubadan Palace once more. I have had a close relationship with many Ibadan residents even before I took up my position as Emir of Kano. Consequently, Ibadan is like a second home to me."

Prior to the public gathering, the traditional rulers had a private conversation in an inner chamber. Following this discussion, they moved to a conference room to address a larger audience. According to the PUNCH, the visit was motivated by the long-standing relationship between the two ethnic groups.
