In his acceptance speech, Muhammadu Sanusi II assured the sect in Nigeria that he will exert all that it takes from him to move his followers to progress.
The occasion was attended by thousands of Tijjaniyya sect followers from across the world under the chairmanship of the World Tijjaniyya sect leader, Sheikh Muhammad Mahi Inyass.
