Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi ll has said that Nigeria will remain
one and indivisible country, and appealed to those agitating for the
country’s split to have a rethink.
Sanusi said this on Monday when he received the newly installed Garkuwan Hausawa in Ogun, Otunba Rotimi Paseda, in his palace.
Emir Sanusi said if Nigerians respect each other, they would
continue to remain as one entity irrespective of their tribes, religion
and cultural differences.
“This is what we, the traditional rulers are promoting among
our subjects. So, we should ignore our difference and help in building
one country.”
He called on Hausa community residing outside the North to respect
the culture, tradition and norms of their host communities for peaceful
co-existence.
“You should be good ambassadors of the north and ensure that
you leave in peace and harmony with your host communities. Nigeria will
remain one and indivisible country and Nigerians will continue to be one
family".
“I was delighted when I learnt of your goodwill to Hausa people
in Ogun state. I am not surprise of the good testimonies I hear about
you taking cognizance of the fact that you are from a ruling house.
“Oba Awujale of Ijebu Land is my personal friend. We have
enjoyed a long-standing relationship; and I feel happy for the role you
are playing as the Garkuwan Hausawa to ensure cordial relationship
between my people and the Yorubas.”
The Garkuwan Hausawa, Otunba Rotimi Paseda, said he was at the
palace to pay homage to Emir Sanusi and receive his blessings as the
newly crowned Garkuwan Hausawa.
Paseda, also the national leader of Unity Party of Nigeria (UPN)
said, he had enjoyed fruitful relationship with the Hausa people living
in Ogun state.
“They are my brothers. I ensure that they are happy and I can
testify to you that they have remained good ambassadors of the Hausa
race in the state.
“They live in peace with us and I will ensure that the status quo is maintained,” he added.
