''So a dog can become an Emir? Congratulation Rabi'u Kwankwaso''
Alhaji Mujahid Asari Dokubo,
the leader of the Niger Delta Peoples Volunteer Force, (NDPVF), and former
militant warlord, has taken his support for President Goodluck Jonathan to
another level by embarking on name calling, insults and outright slight on the
revered and religious throne of the Kano Emirate.
This he did by calling Alhaji
Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, the former Central bank of Nigeria Governor who is now
the Emir of Kano, a dog and even posting a picture of a turbaned dog
He also tweeted a congratulatory
message to the All Progressive Congress, APC on their new Emir while also
wondering if the late Emir died a natural death.
Asari is one of the
supporters of President Goodluck Jonathan's government, which Sanusi is at
loggerheads with.
On the same wall where he
uploaded the pictures, he was insulted and slammed by his Facebook friends for
disrespecting Islam and the Emir.
For those who do not know,
Asari believes that the country will be
at war if Jonathan do not win the 2015 elections and has been vocal in his
support of the president, often picking fights with anyone he sees as the
president's enemy.
SANUSI TURBANING
Malam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi Has been crowned as the Emir of
Kano, he has subsequently chosen the name Muhammadu Sunusi II. The presidential candidate of All Progressives Congress, APC, General
Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) as well as the party leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, led other dignitaries whose presence to the colorful mini ceremony.
Meanwhile, the colourful
coronation was successful even without the presence of any federal government
delegations, nor, the attendance of Kano indigenes serving in top federal
government positions.
Malam Sanusi was before his
coronation taken through the rigorous process of the oath of office. The Chief
Imam of Kano, Prof. Sani Zaharadeen, while administering the oath of office on
the new emir, accompanied by the kingmakers, presented him a copy of the Holy
Quran.
Sanusi, who was also adorned
with the royal regalia, was eventually regularised by the kingmakers of the
Emirate Council. This was followed by the paying of homage to him by other
royal personalities who took turns to do him the customary honour.
The new Emir, in his
acceptance speech delivered after the coronation, appreciated all those who
contributed to his becoming the 14th Emir of Kano in the Fulani dynasty, adding
that it was Allah that gives power to whoever he wishes and takes away power
from whoever he so wishes.
“I will not stop without
praying for the repose soul of our late Emir Ado Bayero, who was humble,
industrious, humane and respectful. May Allah grant him Jannatul-fir-daus and
his ancestors alike. It is instructive to know that out of the many years of
Kano Emirate rule, our late Emir took about one over four of the years, he
spent about 51 years on the throne,” Sanusi noted.
He further assured that he
would do his possible best as the Emir of Kano to strengthen the peaceful
co-existence between all adherents of different faith and ethnic nationalities
in the country.
While praying that God should
give Nigeria the best leaders as elections draw nearer, the monarch called on
politicians to ensure that the forthcoming election is peaceful and credible.
In his remarks, Governor
Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso of Kano State described the appointment of Sanusi as the
Emir of Kano as a collective decision of the people, noting that he was
appointed to ascend the exalted throne on merit.
He maintained that his
decision to appoint Sanusi out of the names presented to him was borne out of
the conviction that the former CBN governor was equal to the task, saying his
vast array of experience was enough to propel Kano to greater heights.
Kwankwaso, who used the
occasion to pay glowing tribute to late Emir of Kano, Alhaji Ado Bayero,
emphasized that the late emir had firmly stood against all forms of injustice
and persecution.
Other APC big wigs that
attended the ceremony that saw Emir Sanusi receiving the staff of office

Representatives, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal; and Yobe State Governor, Ibrahim
