The 16th Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, has expressed readiness to intervene in the ongoing Fulani crisis in the country to provide a permanent solution to the problem.
“This can be done only if the federal government will support me in achieving my mission because it has the might and what it takes to make my strategy work, while I will provide the ideas and the methodologies of how to go about it,” he stated.
Speaking while receiving the Leadership of Tapital Pulaku Njode Jam Nigeria on Tuesday in Kano, the Fulani group with membership across the 36 states led by Modibbo Ibrahim Buba Jada.
Paying his allegiance to the Emir on behalf of his people, he said, “It is high time a permanent solution is preferred to the Fulani crises in the Country.”
“No doubt, Fulanis in Nigeria have suffered heavy attacks, isolation, killings, and their cows rustled; this is indeed carried out against them across the country, and something needs to be done to arrest the situation,” he further stated.
The Emir also said, „However, it is not untrue that there are some rotten eggs amongst the Fulanis who have thrown the good names of the people to the mud and subjected them to what they are facing today.
“This is the time that the government, together with us, will have a permanent solution to the crises, specifically between them and the farmers and where they are suspected of carrying out other crimes.
“I am ready to help the Government achieve the desired mission of peace and prosperity among the Fulanis and other Nigerians. Their suffering should stop. I believe together we can do it,” he stated.
The group was at the Palace to pay allegiance to the Emir, who was appointed long ago by the Lamido of Adamawa for his second return as their leader.
They were at the palace with all their members from the 36 states of the federation, including those from the forests, to support the Emir because they believed in him as a leader who cared for them.
They believed the Emir had what it takes to correct their battered names and set the records straight on who they were and their contributions to the country.
