A Bauchi Islamic scholar, Sheik Dahiru Usman, has advised prominent Nigerians not to remain quiet amid the face-off between the Emir of Kano, Muhammad Sanusi II and Governor Umar Ganduje.<\/p>\n
He spoke to newsmen at the weekend at his residence in Bauchi.<\/p>\n
The Sheikh insisted that more intervention from Northern stakeholders was required, as the matter was not yet resolved.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat happened in Kano between the Emirate and the State government was unfortunate. I spoke when the crisis was at its peak and I said that, Kano is a very important place in Nigeria.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlmost every person Nigeria especially those of us from the north have a stake in Kano. I am saying this because, every business person has a business partner in Kano\u201d, Daily Trust quoted him as saying.<\/p>\n
\u201cLikewise, people that are engaged in Qur\u2019anic education and other things. Whatever you are doing in Nigeria, there are people that you associate with that are based in Kano.<\/p>\n
\u201cTherefore, Kano is very important to be in chaos or any form of crisis especially the one that will involve its cherished emirate, cultural heritage or anything else.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe should know that, political offices are tenured offices that last for four or eight years. They come and go unlike traditional institutions and the people.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
