El-Rufai Calls Emir Sanusi’s Reinstatement A Landmark Event In His Life

A former governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, on Wednesday, disclosed that the reinstatement of Muhamamdu Sanusi ll as the Emir of Kano is one of the most important events in his life.

El-Rufai stated this at the Arewa Tech Fest, held in Kano.

The event drew politicians and technocrats to discuss advancements in Northern Nigeria.

The festival was attended by key figures, including the Governors of Kano, Katsina, and Zamfara states.

El-Rufai said, “The reinstatement of his highness is one of the most important events in my life and I want to congratulate you once again.”

In other news, a photo of the reinstated Emir of Kano, walking on a customized rug engraved with his adopted name, ‘Khalifa Muhammad Sanusi ll,’ has sparked controversy, with some Islamic clerics accusing the emir of disrespecting religious traditions.

In response to the allegations, Emir Sanusi defended his actions, stating that the intentions behind his actions are what truly matter.

He referenced religious teachings to clarify that he meant no disrespect to the Prophet Muhammad.

The discourse intensified following a video featuring Muhammad Sharif, a Zaria-based Islamic cleric, who criticized the emir for not adhering to the protocols established by the Tijjaniyya founders, Ahmadu Tijjani and Ibrahim Niasse.
