A former Head of State, who is also a
national leader of the All Progressives Party, Maj-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari
(retd) on Monday wrote the new Emir of Kano, Mallam Sanusi Lamido
Sanusi, asking the monarch to support the Federal Government’s war
against terrorism in the country.
Buhari,
in a congratulatory letter he personally signed and a copy of which was
made available to newsmen in Kaduna, urged the new emir to bring to
bear his wealth of experience in assisting the economic revival of the
state and the country as a whole.
The
former military leader, who was also a presidential candidate of the
defunct Congress of Progressive Change in the 2011 presidential
election, reminded the former CBN boss to fear God and to treat the
people of Kano with justice and fairness, saying his choice as the emir
was purely an act of God.
Buhari
said, “You should cultivate all and exclude none. After attending the
burial of the late emir, Alhaji Ado Bayero, I am renewing my condolences
to the new emir, Alhaji Sanusi Lamido Sanusi and the people of Kano and
the country on the death of Alhaji Ado Bayero.
“I
am forwarding my congratulations to you for assuming the office of emir
of this historic land, a position once occupied by great historical
figures such as Muhammadu Rumfa, Ibrahim Dabo, Abdullahi Bayero and
Muhammadu Sanusi. I hope you will be a worthy successor to those great
men.”
