16th Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido
The Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, has expressed dismay over the outcome of the #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria protests, stating that they have undone years of progress in the state.
The Emir said he was disturbed by the destruction of the Nigerian Communications Commission digital centre, a multi-billion naira facility designed to equip Kano’s youth with digital skills and certify them in internet and computer proficiency.
Addressing newsmen at the Palace on Friday, the Emir said, “Today is a sad day for the people of Kano due to what has happened in the state. We sympathise with the entire indigent population of Kano.
“What has happened is unacceptable, and the people of Kano must ensure that it does not recur. The lives lost and properties destroyed were all for the benefit of the people of Kano. All the destruction inflicted was against the entire people of Kano.”
He added, “Among all the states involved, Kano suffered the worst from these nefarious actions. People should not allow themselves to be used. I urge citizens to report anyone they suspect of trying to cause havoc in their areas.
“People should wake up and do the right thing by rebuilding the state and refusing to be used by those with anti-Kano agendas.”
He appealed to people to return to God and cautioned them against taking the law into their own hands.
