PDP
Congratulates Sanusi Lamido Sanusi
Says It Will
Not Play Politics With The Traditional Institution
The ruling
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has congratulated the new Emir of Kano, Mallam
Sanusi Lamido Sanusi on his inauguration, saying it will not play politics with
the revered traditional institution.
PDP National
Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh in a statement on Monday said the party “has
an unflinching reverence for the traditional institution and in that regard
extends the same reverence it had for the late Emir to Mallam Sanusi Lamido
Sanusi.”
It however
said it expects the new Emir to remain non-partisan deserving of the exalted
and revered office, like his predecessor.
“The PDP
holds the office of the Emir of Kano in very high esteem. We therefore give the new Emir our prayers and urge him to
ensure that the sanctity of the throne and the traditional institution are
absolutely guarded and preserved.
“We are very
much aware that his status has changed and we pray the Almighty Allah, who
alone confers authority, to grant him the wisdom and good health to lead his
people to peace and prosperity.
Calling for
calm in Kano, the PDP urged the new Emir to take steps to unite his people and
note that he is not the emir of any political party but that of the entire
people of the Kano Emirate.
Signed:
Olisa Metuh
National
Publicity Secretary
