PEEVED by the spate of insecurity, the former Emir of Kano, His Royal Highness, Muhammad Sanusi II, says as the Grand Khaleefa of the Tijjaniyya Order in Nigeria, the body does not tolerate extremism.
Sanusi stated this during a courtesy visit to the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, in Government House, Port Harcourt.
The former Emir of Kano said he was on a familiarisation tour to leaders and members of Tijjaniyya Order resident in Rivers State, saying as a Grand Khaleefa of the Order, his visit was to see to the welfare of his members in the state.
Media aide to the Rivers State Governor, Kelvin Ebiri, disclosed this in a statement titled, ‘We must work together to salvage our country – Gov Wike’, and made available to newsmen in Port Harcourt.
He noted with delight the quality of leadership demonstrated by the governor in making Rivers State home for all Nigerians.
The former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria also acknowledged the quality of public infrastructure, the development strides and security provided for all residents by the Wike’s administration.
“Our interest would be the progress of this country. But we are committed as a group to play our role in supporting leadership that will bring development to the Nigerian people because we are convinced that if the leadership of the country and the sub-nationals is not up to speed, all of us suffer. If we have good leaders, all Nigerians benefit,” he added
In his remarks, Wike urged Nigerians to work together to salvage the country from current political and socio-economic woes.
He said development could only be secured in a society that promotes good governance that is predicated on the rule of law.
The governor maintained that everybody could attest to the fact that things were not well in Nigeria and it did not matter how pretenders tried to exonerate themselves from the happenings.
