Muhammadu Sanusi II, Emir of Kano, has called on traditional rulers, political leaders and residents of Northern Nigeria to unite in rebuilding the region, saying meaningful progress would only come through collective commitment rather than reliance on others.
Speaking at the annual prayer (Dhikr) organised by the Tijjaniyya Islamic sect at the Kano Emir’s Palace on Friday night, Sanusi urged leaders to focus on improving society, stressing that every leader would ultimately be accountable before Allah for their stewardship.
He lamented the region’s declining image, noting that Northern Nigeria, once admired for its achievements and scholarship, is now unfairly associated with illiteracy, insecurity and underdevelopment.
“We must first change ourselves before asking Allah to change our situation. We cannot continue waiting for others to solve our problems. We must unite and work together to restore the lost glory of our land,” he said.
The Emir also commended Governor Abba Kabir
