The dethroned Emir of Kano, Muhammad Sanusi, has stated that God approved his removal from the throne by the Kano state government.
He stated this in Awe, Nasarawa state, while leading Friday Muslim prayers at the palace of the Emir of Awe with the Kaduna state governor, Malam Nasir el-Rufai, in attendance.
Sanusi, during the prayers, urged Muslim faithful to always obey God and accept his judgement in whatever happens.
He stated that “whatever happens to anyone of them is destined by God; if not there is no way it would happen. There is no way anything that God has not destined would come to pass.”
He underscored the needs for Nigerians to also continue to pray for peace and progress of the country.
Sanusi also urged Muslims to fear God in all their activities, reminding them they must give account of his or her deeds hereafter.
El-Rufai, who was in Awe to visit the dethroned Emir, arrived at the emir’s residence at about 12:45pm.
He was received by the dethroned emir where they quickly went into a closed- door meeting after which they drove straight to Friday mosque.
It was gathered that it was the first time Sanusi was allowed to make a public speech after he was dethroned by the Kano state government and banished to Nasarawa state.
Blueprint reports that there was heavy security presence during the prayer as armed policemen and other security personnel had been deployed.
