The Emir of Kano, Mallam Mohammed Sanusi II, has urged Nigerians to vote wisely and elect the right candidate for their choose, during the forthcoming election on Saturday February 16, 2019. It was reported that the Emir Sanusi gave an advise to the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar when he paid him a courtesy visit in his palace in Kano on Sunday. ”Election is not a war, there is no need to shed blood and there is need to caution and enlighten the public against violence. ”As a father to all, I always preach peace; this is because no meaningful development can take place without peace.
”I urge eligible voters to vote for whoever that is competent and capable they think will take them to the promise land,” he said. Speaking further, “It is what the people choose is what is going to serve them in the next four years.” Emir Sanusi urged elligble voters should obtained their Permanent Voter Cards (PVC’s), so that they will have the right to vote. According to INEC, “No PVC’s, No Vote.”
Atiku was accompanied to the palace by his running mate, Mr Peter Obi, Senate President, Bukola Saraki, PDP National Chairman, Prince Uche Secondus and Sen. Rabiu Kwankwaso.Others include, former Minister of Foreign Affairs, Alhaji Aminu Wali, former Cross River Governor, Mr Liyel Imoke, former Minister of Power, Alhaji Tanimu Turaki, Sen. Abdul Ningi, Hajiya Baraka Umar and Kano PDP governorship candidate, Abba Kabir Yusuf.
Sanusi was selected to succeed his granduncle, Ado Bayero, as the Emir of Kano on 8 June 2014. His appointment was controversial; some believed that it was a politically-motivated move to avoid fraud charges from his tenure as governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria. Many expected Bayero’s son to succeed him as emir, and protested Sanusi’s appointment. He was crowned Emir Muhammadu Sanusi II on 9 June 2014, the 14th Emir of Kano[34] and leader of the Tijaniyya Sufi order (the second-most-important Muslim position in Nigeria after the Sultan of Sokoto, leader of the larger Qadiriyya Sufi order).
After Sanusi urged his followers to fight the Nigerian Islamist group Boko Haram, the Kano Mosque (the seat of his emirate) was bombed in November 2014; 150 people were killed. In December 2014, Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau accused him of deviating from Islam and threatened his life. Sanusi replied that he is “safe with Allah”, and likened Shekau’s comments (describing Sufis as unbelievers) to those of the heretical Islamic preacher Maitatsine.
