Jonathan Shuns Emir Of Kano Coronation by danielmichael(m): 10:45am On Feb 08, 2015 |
coronation ceremony of the new Emir of Kano, Sarki Muhammad Sanusi, was successfully held February 7. However neither President Goodluck Jonathan nor his representatives attended the occasion. According to The Nation, Nigeria’s authorities did not provide any reason for the absence. It is worth recalling that since the suspension of Sanusi from his position of the CBN governor, the relationships between him and Jonathan have been surrounded by controversy. January 21 GEJ visited the Emir of Kano in his palace in a bid to get the traditional ruler’s support for his re-election bid . Although Jonathan shunned the yesterday’s ceremony, the honourable guests at the occasion included: the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate,General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), former military head of State, General Yakubu Gowon, the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar, APC National Leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, Speaker Aminu Tambuwal of the House of Representatives; Governors Rabiu Kwankwaso, Adams Oshiomhole, Ahmed Abdulfatah, Ibrahim Geidam, Abdullaziz Yari, Chibuike Amaechi, Ramalan Yero, Babangida Aliyu and Kashim Shetima. Sanusi was traditionally decorated, given a sword, spear, knife, bow and arrow. In his speech the new Emir expressed his determination to fulfill his obligations to God, Islam and the people of Kano. www.naij.com/381003-jonathan-shuns-emir-of-kano-coronation-ceremony.html |
