Emir of Kano, Lamido Sanusi
The Emir of Kano, Alhaji Lamido Sanusi, on Saturday in Kano wept at the Government House while reflecting on life after death.
As beads of tears rolled down the cheeks
of the Emir, he reminded his subjects of the need to exhibit good
character, honesty, good compassion and transparency while dealing with
their compatriots.
While paying homage to Governor Abdullahi Ganduje as part of events to mark the Hauwan Nasarawa
in the ancient city, the monarch urged the governor to explore his
wealth of experience in the task of developing the state as well as
promoting peaceful co-existence among Kano residents.
The
monarch advised Ganduje not to relent in his efforts to provide
adequate security for the residents of the state, pointing out that
education, health, agriculture and water were critical areas for the
governor to concentrate on.
Sanusi added, “We have a big burden on
our shoulders in the service to humanity. We need to remain trustworthy,
honest and transparent in our actions and relations with humanity,
because on the last day, we shall give account of all our dealings to
the Almighty Allah.”
The Emir also implored leaders to use
the period of Eid-el-Fitri to reflect on the teachings of Prophet
Mohammed by resolving that sometime, some day “we shall stand before our
creator and answer for all we have done in our lifetime.”
He called on the indigenes of Kano to always remain law-abiding, irrespective of religion or ethnic differences.
Sanusi urged the authorities to stand up and face the security challenges bedevilling the society.
Ganduje said his administration was
determined to transform the state through the introduction of new
projects and the completion of other projects inherited from the past
administration.
The governor, who expressed dismay with a
new method of begging in the state, described begging under false
pretences as unIslamic.
He said his administration would resist all attempts to make Kano the headquarters of street begging.
