The Emir of Kano, Muhammad Sanusi II has been exhibiting uncommon courage since the bombing of the Kano Central Mosque about four weeks ago by the Godless Boko Haram sect.
It is inspiring to know that Sanusi still partakes in the weekly special prayer sessions at the badly damaged Masallachin Sarki, in spite of threats to his life by the terrorists.
I gathered that as usual, the Emir was in the Mosque yesterday beaming with confidence. No doubt, Emir Sanusi is showing great courage in the war against Boko Haram.
His brave response to recent threats by the terrorists to kill him was really heartening. Prior to the bombing of the Mosque, Sanusi had encouraged Nigerians to defend themselves against the sect.
When they threatened to kill him, he declared: “Boko Haram members do not have the capacity to kill me. I remain protected against any evil attack and nothing will to happen to me but the will of Allah, my creator. I am protected and nothing is going to happen to me.”
Sanusi reiterated his earlier challenge to Nigerians to rise up against the heartless sect.
The actions and statements of the Emir of Kano in the last few weeks, despite threats to his life, put to rest earlier speculations by some people that he has a soft spot for the blood-thirsty bastards called Boko Haram.
Sanusi’s statements further show that he is in full support of efforts by the government to wipe out the terrorists. The Emir of Kano is showing signs of a true statesman.
I urge Sanusi to work more closely with the government and security agents to find a lasting solution to this problem.
Like Sanusi, other Emirs in the North also need to come out and show by their words and action that they abhor Boko Haram.
This is a challenge to the Emir of Gombe, Emir of Bauchi, Emir of Borno, Sultan of Sokoto and the rest.
I am convinced that victory is around the corner. By Allah’s grace, very soon, our brothers and sisters in the North will be able to sleep with both eyes closed.
