Sanusi II has come down heavy on enemies of Nigeria frustrating the effort to restructure it for good.
Emir of Kano, Sanusi II
The Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi II, says political elites have manipulated restructuring for their selfish interest.
Sanusi II, represented by Dr Bashir Umar of the Ado Bayero
University, Kano, said this on Friday at the 9th Triennial National
Conference of Ansar-Ud-Deen Society of Nigeria in Abuja.
The theme of the conference is “Justice, Equity and Peaceful Coexistence: Ideas and Reality in a Multi-Religious Nation.“
According to him, the manipulation of fault lines by elites has been the source of communal violence and insecurity in society.
He said that the elites’ blind thirst for power has resulted in tribal and religious clashes,“even though they are reducing in most part of the nation, but one type of crisis will reduce then another one will spring up.
“It is not as if we are pro- or anti-restructuring, but rather
the restructuring has been turned into a fault line that is been
manipulated and exploited by the elites.
“We have elite in the society that have received the best of
care from the resources of the society. People of my age and those
before me attended public schools from primary to university.
“Unfortunately, the elites that benefited from the system in
the past have left public institutions to become vandalised, dilapidated
and substituted it with a private education system that is affordable
only to a very few.
“The health system has also been vandalised and now people have
to go on medical tourism in India, Egypt, and Europe. The unfortunate
thing is sometimes before you get the air ambulance the will of Allah
will take place,“ he said.
The monarch said the elites that got power after the military
created a political class that instituted thuggery, election
malpractices, corruption and destroyed the Judiciary, Civil Service and
security agencies.
“These are all the result of the work of the political class
and the unfortunate thing is that it is made to become something that is
perpetual.
“This has to be changed and our duty as Muslims is to learn
from the ideals of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) to save the
society from eminent danger that is facing it.“
Alhaji Yusuf Adebayo, National Vice-President, Ansar-Ud-Deen
Society of Nigeria, appealed to politicians to desist from exploiting
fault lines for their political interest.
According to Adebayo, such attitude is not healthy for the growth and development of the country.
He, therefore, advised the youth to stop making themselves tools
for agent provocateurs who always profit from religious violence in the
country.
He urged Nigerians to imbibe peace for the overall development of the country and humanity in general.
National President of the society, Dr Lateef Okunnu, said the
organisation retained it premier position among all Muslim missions and
societies through the propagation of Islam.
He said in fulfilment of one of the two principal objectives of the
society, the National Universities Commission issued full certificate
of operation to the Ansar-Ud-Deen University named Summit University,
Offa, Kwara State.
