16th Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido
The 16th Emir of Kano Muhammadu Sanusi II has expressed his readiness to intervene in the Fulanis crises in the country with a view to providing a permanent solution to the problems.
Speaking while receiving the leadership of a Fulani group, Tapital Pulaku Njode Jam Nigeria, on Tuesday, in his palace, Sanusi said it was high time the government found a permanent solution to the Fulani crises in the country.
He said, “But this can be done only if the Federal Government will give me full support to achieve my mission because they have the might and what it takes to make my strategy work, while I will provide the ideas and the methodologies of how to go about it.
“No doubt, Fulanis in Nigeria have suffered heavy attacks, isolation, killing and destruction and the rustling of their cows, these rejections indeed were carried all across the country, and something needs to be done to arrest the situation.
“However, it is not untrue that there are some bad eggs amongst the Fulanis who have thrown the good names of the people into the trash and subjected them to what they are suffering today.
“This is the time that the government, together with us, will have a permanent solution to the crises, more specifically between them and the farmers and also where they are suspected to be carrying out other crimes.
“I, on my own, am ready to help the government to achieve the desired mission of having peace and prosperity among the Fulanis and indeed, other Nigerians. Their suffering should stop. I believe together we will do it,”
Speaking, the leader of the Fulani group, Madibo Jada, said they were at the palace to extend their hands of allegiance to the Emir for his second return as their leader, who was appointed long ago by the Lamido of Adamawa.
“Our members are mainly in the bushes, and if today I asked only the youth wing of our group to come here, this palace will be too small for us. We have members all across the 36 states of Nigeria,” Jada said.
He said they believed that Emir Sanusi had what it takes to correct their battered names and set the records straight of who they are and their contributions to the socio-economic development of the country.
