The visiting United States Secretary of states, Mr. John Kerry had quoted the late Sarduana of Sokoto, Ahmadu Bello in one of his tweets regarding his activities in Nigeria.
The Secretary, who has been on African trips arrived Nigeria today and visited Sokoto state.

Kerry, was given a Royal Reception at the palace of the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar.

Mr. Kerry had tweeted on his twitter account about the important words of the late Sarduana  of Sokoto which read “Impt words to remember today from Ahmadu Bello – “It is by understanding our differences that we can build unity.”

Meanwhile, many Nigerians responded to Mr. Kerry’s tweets  in defiance to the purported hidden agenda of the American Secretary of states in which some exerted and implied that the secretary of states’s visit was to reaffirm the Obama administration’s unflinching support for the North and to encourage them in their effort to marginalize the rest of Nigeria and if possible islamize the country.
