He said that the fact that Muhammad Sanusi II was reinstated by the Kano State government at this particular moment indicates that the people of Kano State did not support his overthrow on March 9, 2020.
Siminalayi Fubara, the governor of Rivers State, has congratulated His Royal Highness Muhammad Sanusi II on his appointment back to the position of 14th Emir of Kano.
Governor Fubara expressed his excitement at learning that the former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) had been reinstated, especially since Khalifa Sanusi II had visited Rivers State to support his administration’s efforts to change the state’s economic direction.
He said that the fact that Muhammad Sanusi II was reinstated by the Kano State government at this particular moment indicates that the people of Kano State did not support his overthrow on March 9, 2020.
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”, the Governor said.
