The Emir of Kano, Lamido Sanusi, has called on residents to remain law-abiding and refrain from actions that could provoke unrest in the city.
In a voice message in Hausa, posted by Premier Radio Kano on Monday, Emir Sanusi strongly condemned those opposing his reinstallation, declaring that they were challenging the will of God and would face divine consequences.
“We are calling on the people to be law-abiding citizens. This war (Emirate Tussle) is not targeted at me; they are fighting what God has destined to happen. God doesn’t need anyone’s support. I am pleading with you to be patient and prayerful. God will continue to support those who are fair and just.”
The monarch also cursed those allegedly plotting against him, warning that they would not have peace.
“Fire will consume anyone who is planning to set fire in Kano. May he never witness peace in his life. May Allah protect our country and our lives. Insha’Allah, whoever is challenging God’s decision will not end well,” he stated.
The leadership crisis in the Kano Emirate has stirred political tensions, with rival factions contesting the legitimacy of Sanusi’s return to the throne. His statement signals the deepening divide as both sides continue to seek legal and political resolutions.
