Former president, Goodluck Jonathan received a hero’s welcome when he visited Sokoto state to pay a condolence visit to the family of Ibrahim Dasuki.

The former president visited the family of the late Sultan on Thursday, November 17.

The former Sultan who is also the father to former national security adviser, Sambo Dasuki, died on Monday, November 14, evening at the National Hospital in Abuja.

Jonathan had earlier sent a condolence message and followed it up with a visit.

In what might be considered an unexpected reception, Sokoto youths carried placards hailing Jonathan and asking him to come back as president.
