The event was attended by the minister of state for petroleum resources, Timipre Sylva and the former governor of Adamawa state, Admiral Murtala Nyako.
Meanwhile, Tinubu had said that the choice of Kano state as a venue for his 12th colloquium was to establish the fact that the Fulanis and Yoruba people could co-exist in love and peace.
Speaking at the event which also marked his 69th birthday, the APC stalwart said his choice of Kano as a celebration venue stemmed from a longing to unite the two ethnic groups.
Tinubu said Nigeria at this critical time needed such a move as this to see if other people would have peace of conscience, live in harmony and be lovely to one another.
The former governor of Lagos state said he and Governor Abdullahi Ganduje were trying to show to Nigerians that some of the agitations rocking the country at this time were misplaced.
