Rivers State Governor, Mr Siminalayi Fubara, has congratulated the former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), His Royal Highness, Muhammad Sanusi II on his reinstatement as the 14th Emir of Kano.

Governor Fubara noted that his reinstatement by the Kano State Government at this time shows Sanusi’s dethronement on March 9, 2020, was against the wishes and aspirations of the people of Kano State.

He also stated that the reinstatement has proved that it was an unjust act to the millions of people who believed in the Monarch’s reign while on the revered throne.

Governor Fubara said that he received the news of the reinstatement, with great excitement, particularly coming at a time Sanusi was in the State to add, “impetus to my administration’s initiative to reshape the economic trajectory of the State”.

He 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”. 

The governor also urged the spiritual leader of the Tijanniyah Sufi order of Nigeria, Emir Sanusi, 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.

He wished the Emir a successful and fruitful reign that will bring progress and prosperity to the people of the State.
