As part of his against religious intolerance, especially in northern Nigeria, music icons, Tuface Idibia along with Sound Sultan, visited Bishop of Catholic Diocese of Sokoto, Matthew Kukah and the Sultan of Sokoto, HRH Sa’ad Abubakar.
While speaking with the stars and their team, the Sultan told Ididbia to continue using his talent to promote peace and peaceful coexistence among Nigerians youths.
The Sultan who said 2Baba was acting out what all religions preach by promoting peace across boundaries, also said, Nigerian youths should not allow themselves to be used as agents of destruction by selfish politicians, elites and wealthy individuals for selfish gains.
He said: “It is important for our children not to allow themselves to be used by elders who have enjoyed themselves already and now want to force the youths not to enjoy their lives.”
While saying that there is no alternative to peace should any country-needed development, the Sultan advised Nigerian youths to henceforth demand of politicians who often sponsor youths for thuggery during electioneering periods, to first bring their children to lead the way.
Advising youths to emulate the mutual respect and loving relationship he shares with Bishop Kukah, the traditional ruler said: “I can never have problem with Bishop Kukah because we both respect and understand each other.”
Earlier, Kukah in his remarks encouraged 2Baba to continue to sing his message to the Nigerian youths whom he said should never allow themselves to be used as harbingers of restiveness for whatever gain.
Describing the Sultan as a very accessible person, Kukah said seeing him was an easier task compared to seeing a local government chairman, because of his simplicity.
The two-day event which ended on Thursday, was organised by 2face Idibia foundation (A Million Voices For Peace) in collaboration with Voices Of Peace from the Sahara and the Justice, Development & Peace Commission (JDPC), Catholic Diocese of Sokoto.
