…I am not happy with what am hearing about you, how do you
ensure security when you are not paying workers salaries?

Emir Muhammadu Sanusi of Kano has urged Kogi State
Governor Yahaya Bello not to build the castles in the air and
advised against unfulfilled promises.

The former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria said this
during a ceremony where Kogi Governor was given an
award by the Inspector General of Police in recognition of his
qualities and his efforts at improving security in the state.

After congratulating Gov. Bello on the award, the Emir said;
“I am not happy with what am hearing about you, how do
you ensure security when you are not paying workers
salaries ?”

“I am here because the Inspector General of Police, the man
who performed well in Kano, invited me. As a traditional
ruler, I don’t embrace political gathering”, he said.

“My advice to his excellency is to remember that to whom
much is given, much is expected. For all of us in positions of
authority, whether governor, emirs, police commissioners,
the president and chairman of local government, we must
remember that over 170 million Nigerians were created by
God and when God chooses us and put us in these
positions, it is not because he does not love those not given
the position.

“In fact, it is because he loves them that we were appointed
to serve them. The responsibilities come with the realization
that we are there not for ourselves but for those who are not
there. This is the first test of leadership and that is what
public service is about.

“If there is anything that has destroyed this country, it is
because people are thinking that offices are for themselves
and their families but it is not. We were given offices for
those who are not in office; we were given office to not
sleep so that they may sleep. We were given office so that
you can go hungry so that they may eat.

“You were given office so that you stay awake fearful of
what may happen to them so that they may sleep in peace.
People who think that they are in office to enjoy, to have
sound sleep, to have a comfortable life are the worst leaders
ever.

“So, I say to the governor and myself and to all of us who
have a responsibility, the prophet of Islam has one Hadith
about leadership that is very frightening.

A Hadith of the
Prophet (SAW) states that leadership is a trust and on the
day of judgment, it is going to be a source of humiliation
and regrets. Everyone must be aware that there will be a day
an account will be given of the privileges of office.”
