Kano: Dahiru Bauchi Advices Sunusi to Leave Throne for Peace to Reign
Sheikh Dahiru Usman Bauchi Foundation Calls for Respect of Rule of Law in Kano Emirate Dispute anf advises Sunusi Lamido Sunusi to give up the throne for peace to reign in the state.
The Foundation also called on the Kano State Government and the two emirs involved in the ongoing dispute to respect the rule of law in the interest of peace and stability in Kano State and Nigeria.
Speaking at a press conference in Bauchi, the Chairman of the Foundation, Sheikh Ibrahim Sheikh Dahiru, advised the emirs to take a vow of peace and brotherhood to save the lives of innocent people and allow peace to reign.
“In the interest of peace, we want justice to prevail. Since the court has intervened to maintain law and order, we expect each party to respect the rule of law,” Sheikh Ibrahim said.
The Foundation chided the Kano State Government’s decision to continue with the process of appointing the 16th Emir of Kano and dethroning the five emirs despite a court injunction.
Sheikh Ibrahim suggested that the current Emir, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, could learn from the example of Sayyidina Hassan, the grandson of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), who left power to Mu’awiyyah in the interest of peace and brotherhood among the Muslim Ummah.
The Foundation also urged the National Assembly to amend the constitution and enact laws that will protect traditional rulers from being dethroned or appointed at the pleasure of politicians.
The Chairman called on the Kano State Government, the State House of Assembly, and the people of Kano to exercise caution and refrain from making decisions that may jeopardize the state’s stability and exacerbate the suffering of the people.
“We want the parties to work together to build a brighter future for the people of Kano State and Nigeria, where justice, peace, and prosperity reign, and where the rights and dignity of all citizens are upheld and respected,” he concluded.
