The Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, received a notable visit from the Emir of Potiskum, Umar Bauya, marking the first time a Northern emir has paid a solidarity visit to Sanusi’s palace since his reinstatement by Governor Abba Yusuf.
Bauya was warmly welcomed at the palace by other traditional rulers from the Kano emirate. During the visit, he expressed his support for Sanusi, who also serves as the spiritual leader of the Tijaniyya sect in Nigeria.
He praised Sanusi’s leadership, emphasizing that his return as Emir is a testament to his dedication and commitment to his people.
Bauya assured Sanusi of both his personal support and the backing of the people of Potiskum.
Reflecting on his own experience, Bauya noted, “It happened to me some 26 years ago and with the help of Allah, I was returned and living peacefully with my people.
“The return of Emir Muhammadu Sanusi II is a significant milestone that justified that he is a good leader who thinks and acts for his people; as such, he should count on my personal support and that of my people.”
Bauya also took the opportunity to request Sanusi’s assistance in completing the construction of a Jumaat Mosque at his palace, a project that had been stalled due to financial constraints.
“We are seeking your usual support on the construction of a Jumaat Mosque at my palace, which we started about three years ago, but it has been stalled due to some financial difficulties. We hope that you will help us as usual to complete the project,” Bauya said.
In response, Sanusi expressed his gratitude for Bauya’s visit, acknowledging the importance of the gesture.
He remarked that this visit highlights the unity and solidarity among Northern traditional rulers, which will ultimately benefit the well-being and security of their people.
