Ex-Emir Of Kano, Sanusi Makes ‘Big’ Announcement After Alleged Support To Peter Obi
Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, has sent a message of peace to his supporters, urging them to avoid taking the law into their hands following the presence of security operatives at his palace on Friday.
News360 Info reported earlier that there were tensions in Kano today as security operatives blocked the palace of the Emir, preventing him from attending a royal ceremony in Bichi Local Government Area.
Emir Sanusi II was scheduled to preside over the presentation of a staff member of office to a newly appointed district head in Bichi.
However, heavily armed security personnel, including Armoured Personnel Carriers (APCs), were deployed to the palace gates, effectively barring his movement.
Emir Sanusi II was scheduled to accompany the newly appointed Wamban Kano, Munir Sanusi, to his official district posting in Bichi.
The incident comes after recent developments in Kano’s traditional leadership.
However, Sanusi, while delivering the Friday sermon at the Emirate’s Jummaat Mosque, said: “I warn you against falling into the traps of the enemies of Kano, who want to see Kano on fire.
They always want to see killings, destruction of public properties and maiming of innocent lives.
The first-class traditional ruler and former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria insisted that living peacefully with one another, no matter the provocation is far better than violence.
Islam admonishes you to be patient at any given time, whether in a difficult situation or at peace.
If you are attacked, with patience, one becomes great but refusing to be patient creates uncertainty, difficulties and at the end, everyone loses out.
That is why anybody who loves us and supports us, we ask him to at any given time shun violence no matter what,” Sanusi said.
