Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, has assured Nigerians that the country’s security and economic challenges are not insurmountable, urging both leaders and followers to play their roles in finding lasting solutions.
‎
‎Speaking during the Sallah durbar in Kano on Wednesday, the emir said Nigeria is facing serious challenges in security, the economy, and social cohesion, but expressed confidence that “by the grace of God, there will be solutions as long as leaders ensure justice and followers support them.”
‎
‎Sanusi, who led the Eid prayer at the Kano Central Eid ground in Kofar Mata, reminded Muslims of the importance of slaughtering a sacrificial ram, describing it as an act of worship that draws servants closer to God.

He also encouraged them to extend a helping hand to the needy.
‎
‎Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, his deputy Murtala Sule Garo, and several top government officials were in attendance.
‎
‎The emir further urged citizens to return to the Almighty by doing what He likes and avoiding anything that could lead to His wrath.
‎
He stressed that God has promised not to change people’s predicament unless they themselves also change.
‎
‎He called on Nigerians to respect national laws, pay greater attention to education, and prioritise the upbringing of cchildren

He also appealed for continued support to security personnel in their fight against insecurity.
‎
‎After leading the prayers, Sanusi mounted his horse and rode from the palace to the Eid ground and back, in line with tradition.

The durbar procession attracted large crowds of residents and visitors.
‎
‎For the first time in recent years, the emir is also scheduled to host other major Sallah durbars including Hawan Nassarawa, Hawan Daushe, Hawan Fanisau, and Hawan Dorayi, which are expected to further showcase Kano’s rich cultural heritage.
‎
‎In the last two years, the emirate did not witness Sallah durbar due to a crisis between Sanusi and Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero, 15th Emir of Kano.

Wike Boasts Of Helping APC Use Judiciary To Kill Osun LG Funds Case, Warns Party Leaders Against Ingratitude

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has openly boasted that he assisted certain elements within the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in deploying the judiciary to frustrate the Osun State local government allocation lawsuit.

In a video now circulating widely on social media and obtained by SaharaReporters, Wike made the claim while addressing a crowd in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

The former Rivers governor accused the APC National Secretary, Senator Ajibola Basiru, of benefitting from judicial actions against the Osun State Government without knowing those who did the work behind the scenes.

The suit in question led to the withholding of local government funds in Osun State, a development widely seen as targeting the administration of Governor Ademola Adeleke as opposition in the state.

Wike, who spoke angrily, suggested that the court action supporting the APC’s position against the Osun government did not happen by chance, boasting that powerful political forces worked quietly to ensure the outcome.

“Don’t take our support for Mr President for granted,” Wike warned, in an apparent message to APC leaders defending Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara. “You have to be careful about the statements you make. You have to be very careful.”

He accused Basiru of political ingratitude, claiming the APC was enjoying in Osun State without understanding who engineered their advantage.

“Today, you are enjoying in Osun. You don’t know those who did the work,” Wike said. “You are opening your mouth to talk about Rivers State.”

I think they are getting wiser now as before when they discourage western education and encourage Almajiri

Even Sanusi sees that the reforms are yielding.... The last time he criticized this government, he almost made a fool of himself.

What reform exactly?

The insecurity challenges that have overwhelmed the security forces?

The inflation rate that have gone over the roof?

The reckless borrowing without despite subsidy removal on fuel, electricity ⚡, dollar gas etc?

Tell us what the reform has yielded pls.

JASONjnr:
The economic reforms that has elevated the naira. Placed Nigeria in a position where investors can easily be talked to and also allows the world bank to have confidence in the country.

About insecurities, these people did the same thing in 2014 to oust GEJ. Created boko haram and started kidnapping kids in the school and the likes of Aisha Yusuf championed that moment to drag GEJ out of office. And today, she wants to be a politician.

Insecurity in Nigeria is politically motivated and can't be solved by a president. The same act formed to destroy your government.

Seconded...


Nigeria's challenges are not insumantable. It just takes the right leader to fix things!

Godfullsam:
In what way has the imaginary reforms elevated the naira?
How much is the exchange rate as we speak and what is the purchasing power of the naira? Can you mention any tangible thing you can purchase with 100 naira?
Seems you don't even know the meaning of the word 'elevation'.

How many investors can you visibly count on ground since the beginning of this balablu maladministration, except the lies you were told on the pages of news paper and social media.

How many investors will risk their hard earned funds in an economy characterised with uncertainty and security challenges?

Talking about security challenges, this is not the time for excuses and blame games. Tinubu once said 'the bulk stop at the president's table'.

He is the commander in chief of the armed forces and his primary and basicresponsibility as a leader is to protect the lives and properties of the citizens.

Wether the insecurity is politically motivated, economically motivated or religiously motivated is non of our business. He should figure out how to find a lasting solution to the security challenges or get the f$ck off!

JASONjnr:
The previous government subsidized almost everything. The original price of naira was subsidized.

The previous government borrowed to pay for you to live easily while other criminals stole that comfort from Nigerians.

If there was no subsidy in the previous government, you wouldn't be sounding like a novice.

But since you're good at criticizing and not read news, you get your head filled with anything that's against the government.

I bet you, even if Peter Obi becomes a president today, if your expectations fall short, you will criticize him within looking towards the reforms and policies placed
