Gov Fubara congratulates Sanusi on reinstatement as Emir Kano

By Christiana Ekpa

Governor Sim Fubara of Rivers State has wished the 14th Emir of Kano, Muhammad Sanusi II a successful and fruitful reign.

Fubara prayed that Sanusi’s reign as the Emir of Kano would bring progress and prosperity to the people of the state.

He made the remark while congratulating Sanusi on his reinstatement as the 14th Emir of Kano State.

Fubara expressed excitement over the reinstatement of Sanusi, former Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, governor.

In a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Nelson Chukwudi, on Thursday, the governor said the announcement also coincides with Sanusi’s visit to Rivers State, where he was supporting the administration’s efforts to reshape the state’s economic trajectory.

He noted that Sanusi’s reinstatement by the Kano State Government at this time shows that Muhammad Sanusi II’s dethronement on March 9, 2020, was against the wishes and aspirations of the people of Kano State.

Fubara said that act was “an unjust act to the millions of people who believed in his reign while on the revered throne.”

The governor commended the Kano State Government for listening to the yearnings of the people, and acting to correct the wrongs of the past, and urged the people to give the Sarki of the ancient city of Kano the maximum support to succeed.

He also urged the spiritual leader of the Tijanniyah Sufi order of Nigeria, Emir Muhammad Sanusi II, to lead the over 50 million adherents of the Sufi order in Nigeria with love, wisdom and courage while bringing lasting peace, justice, equity and fairness to all in the city of Kano.

“I wish the 14th Emir of Kano a successful and fruitful reign that will bring progress and prosperity to the people of the state.”
