■ Ceremony blocked based on security report –Govt

The coast appears not clear yet for the newly installed Emir of Kano, His Eminence, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi who was crowned Muhammadu Sa­nusi II, the 14th monarch of the emirate in June as there are indications that the Fed­eral Government might have stopped the planned coronation ceremony of the former Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) governor.

Saturday Sun gathered that arrangements had been concluded and guests invited for the ceremony scheduled to hold last Saturday September 6 before it was abruptly cancelled without any official announcement to explain why.

Investigations reveal that the already planned elaborate coronation ceremony was called off following pressures from security agencies warning of a likely breakdown of law and order if the emirate council and the state government go ahead with the programme which was to give official recognition to the installation of the emir.

“We had to alert the state government and the emirate of the danger of going ahead with the ceremony because of grave threats from Boko Haram and some elements opposed to the emergence of Sanusi as emir within the city. This is certainly beyond politics but a serious security issue”, a top security source told Saturday Sun.

Another source within the Kano emirate council, who also confirmed the last minute cancellation of the coronation ceremony, expressed frustration over the development. “It was a last minute decision by all stakeholders given the security reports brought by Abuja people at least in the interest of peace. The most unfortunate part of the whole thing is that some invited guests had to cancel their engagements outside the country including a prominent traditional ruler in Kaduna State to return home last week to attend the function only to be told a few hours to the programme that the ceremony has been cancelled with no specific date in view”, the high ranking chief stated.

While reacting to the well concealed development, a top official of the Kano State government who does not want to be named because of the sensitive nature of the issue, admitted that the ceremony was hurriedly put off because of some issues related to security complications.

“There is no point hiding anything, it is true the ceremony was put off to enable the state government to complete a coronation arena being built within the government house since the palace won’t be ideal for such because of security implications. When completed and a new date fixed, only invited guests will be allowed to attend the function. The state government would not want to leave anything to chances at this critical time”, the source stated.

When asked when the ceremony will now hold, the state official said: “No one can say, at this juncture, when the programme will hold but we are hoping it may be after sallah.”

There had been a number of Boko Haram attacks in the ancient city. At least six persons were killed in July in a suicide bombing at the Kano State Polytechnic.

The coronation is just a formality he has since started acting in full capacity as Emir.
Despite what the state government gave as reason for the change in plans some noisemakers still want to link it up to the presidency.

DSS wont give such reason if it was TAN's rally that's to hold. Infact, TAN rally is heading to d northeast(boko haram zone) and northwest soon, and ordinary coronation wont hold because of security reasons.
The DSS shld tel TAN to cancel their forthcoming rallies in d north as there is no safe place in d north right now, then we'll believe the reason they gave regarding sanusi's coronation.

Do you mind giving us another crap while his passport is yet to be released to him ? The only thing I'm seeing here is a presidency that scared of Sanusi and won't want him to be coronated till Jonathan declares for re-election or possibly till he wins.

Come weal come woe, SLS is here to stay

Caseless2: oaf!

I ain't gat ur time this morning

Our dear federal government won't stop disgracing themselves. SLS was the best CBN governor in the history of this country - My personal opinion though! just few months after he was removed, they reversed his policy on the ATM withdrawal charge... he made possible what they're claiming isn't possible. Ride on Sir Your Eminence. may God continue to place you above your enemies. Amin. May HE place me and my fellow NL's above our enemies too..... Amen

Very typical jonathanian. Once you oppose the president, you must be an "aboki". Smh.

Sickening horde of headless buffoons!
