The Emir of Kano, Muhammad Sanusi II, he will not be deterred in his quest for change in the country, especially Nothern Nigeria despite opposition and resistance from elements in the society.
The Emir of Kano made this disclosure on Thursday when Mohammed Fall, the new country representative of UNICEF, visited him on Thursday and reported in Daily Trust Newspaper.
According to him, changes are always resisted all over the world, Nigeria inclusive but vowed that he will not be discouraged.
“Change is always difficult in any society; not only in Kano or in Nigeria but the world at large,” he said.
“Once, you want to bring change, especially that, which has to do with the old tradition, it always meets with resistance from the society.
“I’m very aware of this, but that will never discourage me in my drive toward change. I know that there are a lot of people in the society that really understand what I’m driving at.
“I’m therefore calling on everybody; the Ulama, the contractors, the students, the youth leaders, Muslims, especially you, the UNICEF, to come and rally around me as I am ready to pursue this agenda to a logical conclusion. I know I will succeed because the change is meant for the betterment of the society.”
Emir Sanusi came under attack recently from some political and religious leaders in the north following his open criticisms of their roles in the underdevelop of Nothern Nigeria.
