Former Military Head of State and a leader of the All Progressives Congress, Maj-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari(retd.), has asked the new Emir of Kano, Mallam Lamido Sanusi Lamido, to support the Federal Government’s war against terrorism in the country.
Buhari, in a congratulatory letter he personally signed and a copy made available to newsmen in Kaduna, urged the new emir to bring to bear his wealth of experience in assisting the economic revival of the state and the country in general.
The former military leader, who was also a presidential candidate of the defunct Congress of Progressive Change in the 2011 presidential election, reminded the former CBN boss to fear God in treating the people of Kano with justice and fairness as his choice as the emir was purely an act of God.
Buhari said, “You (Emir) should cultivate all and exclude none. After attending the burial of the late emir, Ado Bayero, I am renewing my condolences to the new emir, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, and the people of Kano and the country on the death of Ado Bayero.
“I am forwarding my congratulations to you for assuming the office of emir of this historic land, a position once occupied by great historical figures such as Muhammadu Rumfa, Ibrahim Dabo, Abdullahi Bayero and Muhammadu Sanusi. I hope you will be worthy successor to those great men,” Buhari said.
