Emir Lamido Sanusi Speaks Out After Kano Palace Siege, Calls It ‘Distraction’
Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi submitted on Wednesday that the police are yet to give reasons for laying siege to his Gidan Rumfa palace on Friday.
A source had said the incident had to do with the appointment of the new District Head of Bichi, Munir Sanusi, while another source said it was in connection with a planned chat with some economists on the controversial tax reform bills.
The state government had however condemned this action while pointing the finger at the Federal Government.
Team@orientactualmags.com learned that the Emir commented on the matter on Wednesday, while receiving a delegation from Bichi .
They were at his palace to thank him for the appointment of a District Head and to also pledge their loyalty.
‘This thing that happened is only a distraction, we still don’t know why it happened and those involved have not given the reasons why they did it. However, this will not stop anything.
I assure you that another day will be fixed and your District Head will surely be brought to you and everything will take place peacefully’ Emir Sanusi said.
He also recalled how he had visited Bichi regularly since his high school days while urging calm and asking the people of Bichi to continue to remain peaceful as they are known to be.
‘Go and inform the public to continue to remain peaceful and prayerful. Whatever the situation, peace and prayer will surely take us to the end of the tunnel.
Whenever you see a person trying to breach the peace being enjoyed by the public, you don’t become part of it.
I know nowhere more than Bichi, maybe some of you might be aware of this if they have had the opportunity to deal or relate with my late uncle, Wambai Abubakar. While growing up, whenever there was a long vacation every year, I visit Azare, where I spend a month, then Bichi where I spend twenty days and Dawakin Tofa where I spend ten days. This was how I spent my long vacation throughout the time I was in school.
It is obvious that any town you visit to spend twenty days every year is indeed another home. I know the people of Bichi and I know they are peace loving people. They are also a land of educated persons with good religious ideology.
More so, with the way the people of Bichi hold the Khalif and Wambai Abubakar in reverence, there is no way a son of the Kalifa will be taken to them as the Wambai and they will turn their backs on him’ the emir said.
Members of the delegation include Chairman, Bichi Local Government, Hamza Sule Maifata, Chief Imam of the Local Government, Mallam Lawan Abubakar and the Chairman of Elders Forum, Mallam Isyaka Bicha -Team@orientactualmags.com Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
