Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State has congratulated His Royal Highness Muhammad Sanusi II on his reinstatement to the position of 14th Emir of Kano.
Fubara also expressed joy upon learning of the reinstatement of former Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor Khalifa Sanusi II in a statement signed by the Chief Press Secretary and addressed to Rivers State Governor Nelson Chukwudi on Thursday.
According to Fubara, the statement is also made in tandem with Sanusi’s visit to Rivers State, where he is endorsed his administration’s initiatives to alter the state’s economic course.
He pointed out that Muhammad Sanusi II’s dethronement on March 9, 2020, went against the desires and goals of the people of Kano State, in what he described as “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”, the Governor said.
