Former Emir of Kano Muhammad Sanusi, has condemmed Nigeria Bar Association(NBA) for withdrawing invitation sent to Kaduna State governor Malam Nasir el-Rufai, to be one of the speakers during it forthcoming conference.

Governor el-Rufai was reported dropped, by the association as one of its speakers, following a protest by some lawyers.

Sanusi who made this disclosure while speaking with reporters, shortly after meeting with el-rufai at government house, Kaduna, on Sunday, said, rather than withdraw el-Rufai’s invitation, the lawyers should have rubbed minds with him to identify areas that need to be addressed for the purpose of governance.

“If you feel that the governor of Kaduna state is not doing well, you should invite him to your conference and ask him, and let him explain himself on what he’s doing and tell him what you think he’s doing wrong. You will learn something form him and he’ll learn something from you,” he said.

“If you disagree with someone, having him in your hall and telling him your view is the best and he can defend himself. And if they’re things he needs to improve, he’ll take them on board and if they’re things you don’t know of, you’ll be better informed. I think NBA has lost an opportunity to interrogate the Governor and collectively rub minds to identify areas that need to be addressed for the purpose of governance.”

Addressing reactions that trailed el-Rufai's invation withdrawal, sanusi advised NBA not to allow the issue to degenerated into another crisis.

“That’s the best way, I think to handle matters like this but then again, I’ve seen the response from different part of the NBA, I hope this isn’t turned into an ethnic and religious matter, it should be a matter of principle and I really think it’s their loss, if he was there, he will ad value to them,” he said.

“I am aware that the vast majority of NBA members do not agree with those things. You know if you have an opinion, people will either agree with you or disagree with you. But a man ‎who has an opinion that can be agreed with or disagreed with is always better than a man who has no opinion at all.

“Nasir always has opinions, he knows what his position is on things. He says that position very clearly, people will like it, some people will not like it and that is what some people call controversial and being controversial is actually having an opinion.

“If you don’t want ‎to be controversial, you just be flexible, just flow with the wind and nobody knows where you stand. Then you will not have any friends or enemies, as the case may be,” he said

Aside the comment(insult) for likes, how do you explain that a former Governor of Nigeria's Apex, once an emir and a man in his 50s who still have opportunities to excel FAILED? How please?

Yankee101:

How many CBN governors were sacked in recent times?
How many Kano emirs were dethroned beside his grandfather?
I don't care for likes. Here to shape opinions

ThatFairGuy:

And that's your own definition of FAILURE?

Yankee101:


Trust me, it's better not to reach certain heights than to reach there and be disgraced from there. If you have achieved any measure of success you'll perfectly understand this

Legally, he's can't visit Kano till he dies. Except by special exemption to bury a family member

By old traditions he was supposed to remain in his place of banishment in Nasssarawa till he died. What kind of success is that?

ThatFairGuy:

Okay in kingship aspect!
You know we're in Political dispensation, it's glaring that his ordeal is Political. So W
who told you it can't be reversed?

In essence, don't conclude yet, HE IS STILL LIVING

Failure is when u fail and refuse to learn from it. When u fall u get back up. You can't tell me u haven't made a mistake in ur life. You cant tell me u are better than him. You should be careful when u speak ill of someone.
