Ola Kassim,
>>>Kennedy:
This is arrant nonsense!
You could have simply stated that
SLS was also bankrolling the Boko Haram, stop there and save some keystrokes and time in the process.<<<
Why should I do that and why do you think that's what my piece is about? Is there anything I've written that gives the impression that I'm accusing Sanusi of bankrolling Boko Haram? Of course not. But, yes, I have implied that he seems to have sympathy for them. This is not something I manufactured from thin air; it's something that can be inferred from the man's antecedents, actions and utterances. I mean, when a man of his stature couldn't be found to condemn Boko Haram despite its many atrocities, but instead is using his time to indirectly defend their actions, what other thing can we read into that? Or was this not the chap who in a January 26, 2012 interview with the Financial Times claimed that the Boko Haram insurgency is the direct result of the "very uneven nature of distribution of resources" in Nigeria? I mean, when you say that as the Governor of Central Bank and as a man known to have extremist views on religion and a man publicly exposed as an ethnic jingoist to boot, what do you expect people to think?
But the above is not the purpose of my piece. I did not set out to link him with Boko Haram. When I advised that he must strive to convince the central authorities that he would not make Kano a soft touch for the Boko Haram insurgents, I was referring to his past as a fundamentalist and his role in the murder of Gideon Akaluka in Kano in December 1994, because despite the controversies surrounding his arrest and detention over that matter, what is not in doubt from the investigation is that he played a pivotal role in inciting those who went on to behead Akaluka. It is instructive that every other person arrested with him were summarily executed by Abacha, but his pedigree and royal connections saved him. So, yes, such a fellow with such a past and with such links to extremist elements must upon attainment of such a position as Emir of a cosmopolitan Kano at a time Nigeria is fighting militant Islamist extremism strive to show that he is committed to that fight with the rest of the nation. I did not manufacture his history. It's something he's got to live with. If people like you for whatever reason are afraid to mention it, some of us are not. He is who he is, but having attained such a sensitive position in Kano, we need to tell him our expectations. It's that simple.
>>>The rest of your essay are simply just innuendoes that are informed primarily by political bias.
Why must SLS be the one to make peace with the GEJ government?
Shouldn't, peace making ideally be a two way process?<<<<
Rest of what essay? Is it too difficult for you to pinpoint where I've showed this political bias in my essay? Or stating facts that you aren't comfortable with, because of your own political bias makes me politically biased? You are not serious. When you make accusations, try to back them up with evidence. My piece is here. Take a microscope to it and tell me what qualifies there as political bias.
I'm not sure where you got the impression that I'm advocating that peace depends only on Sanusi. Yes, the focus of my piece is Kano, the Emirship and how this whole thing affects national security, but if you read me properly, you'll note that I made clear in my piece that there should be no further politicization of the issues relating to his Central Bank tenure and that if the prosecuting authorities know they are doing it only for political reasons, they should quietly drop the charges and let the man reign in peace. Does that sound like a one-sided thing?
At any rate, it is not in his interest not to make peace with the central government, because he's got nothing to lose by doing so and all to lose for not doing so. Yes, he might sit on his big throne and lord it over Kano, but when all is said and done, all he's got is ceremonial power over a small principality. Even the Local Government Chairman there is more powerful than him. So, for me, yeah, he's proved his point and played the game well enough to attain what he wants, but this is the time to change tact so he can carry every Kanawa along, because when all is said and done, the Kano people over whom he rules are Nigerians. Making peace with the central government is not a sign of weakness, but of strength from both parties.
>>>Where is the proof that SLS bankrolled the APC? Was any money
declared missing at the CBN when
SLS was the Governor?
Are there records of the CBN board under SLS donating any funds to the APC?<<<
I think you are confused. First, I have not in my piece sought to litigate Sanusi versus Jonathan or Sanusi versus the Federal Government over his time at the Central Bank. All I stated was that anything related to that case must be handled legally and justice must be done and be seen to be done. At least you are aware that he is under investigation over monies he spent as CBN Governor. I mean, this has been national news for the better part of a year now. So, whatever the processes in place, nothing says being an Emir automatically stops that. Whatever I've said is not an indictment of Sanusi, but a restatement of values that must be respected within a democracy.
Secondly, where did you read me say Sanusi bankrolled the APC? Or does the fact that I state what every discerning person knows (which is that he is an APC supporter) translate to him bankrolling them? Obviously, he supports the APC pursuant to his ambition of being Emir of Kano, but whether he bankrolls them as well was never part of my claim. Having said this though, I can tell you that he does not have to come out and say: "Yes, I sponsor the APC" before we can reach such a conclusion. For instance, he unilaterally awarded a contract of N84 billion against laid down procedures to an APC chieftain, Nasir el-Ruifai and admitted this. He donated money to the APC government of Kano State in the name of helping the victims of Boko Haram attacks in the city and he also admitted to contributing to Buhari campaign amongst other APC-related admissions. So, what else do you need as proof when there is no commensurate funding of PDP persons or PDP states? To be honest, I'm not inclined to get into listing all the claims here, but please do your research and reach your own conclusions. It's not enough claiming there's no proof of him bankrolling the APC when facts show that money from him manages to get to them one way or another. After all, you do not expect a smart man like Sanusi to come out and say pointblank that he's sponsoring APC as a party, but if you follow the money, you will reach the inevitable conclusions most Nigerians have reached. Again, I'm not here judging him on these; I'm just stating these as facts of his antecedents that might impede his position as an Emir now. I have not called for his dethronement or removal. I am just advising that considering how he got there and the kind of opposition he presently faces, he needs to urgently begin serious bridge building at various levels and not politicking in order to save Kano, Nigeria and himself more headaches from all this.
>>>>We are currently saddled with a failing
rudderless and visionless government that has not been able to provide the barest minimum of the obligations it owes the people of Nigeria- security of life, property and liberty -to live freely, yet we keep being bombarded with this nothing but GEJ post 2015 by your kind.<<<
You are entitled to your view of the Jonathan government, but what you cannot do is accuse me of something I never said or did. I mean, where in my piece did I make a case for Jonathan in 2015? In fact, where in it did I allude to or mention anything pertaining to the election?
>>>If you ever think that my opinion is due to my support for the APC, I would advise that you think again. The honest truth is that given what I know at the moment, I
am not persuaded that the APC as currently constituted can do a better job running Nigeria.
All that I sincerely believe is that Nigeria needs an alternative to the
GEJ government to in order to move forward.
Something has to give to make any progress in Nigeria now and in the future.<<<
Really? So, how do you hope to do that if you are not persuaded that the APC would do a better job? I mean, here we are with only two clear possibilities come 2015. We are either going to have Jonathan reelected or an APC government coming in, but you don't want both! So, what is your suggestion? A military coup? You are not serious….
>>>Amongst other things, what Nigeria needs from her citizens during these trying times are honest and frank opinions that are
informed by facts and not by lies, conjectures and innuendoes.
If you and your cohorts believe that
GEJ has do an excellent job governing Nigeria, please provide the evidence so the rest of us could join your campaign!
Meanwhile - we have heard enough of your lies!<<<
From all indications, you certainly are not in a position to know what Nigerians need now. I mean, if you find it this difficult focusing on the substance of a little debate like this, how would you cope with more complex stuff? Where in all I've written did I propose the excellence of Jonathan? Who is asking you to campaign for Jonathan? Please, focus on the issues I'm dealing with, rather than attempt to drag me into areas I have no intention of getting into simply because they are irrelevant here. I mean, I'm not here to preach Jonathan to you. Rather, my mission here is to discuss Sanusi as the Emir of Kano and the implications for national security in the light of his known antecedents and the happenings in Kano at the moment.
>>>It is the kind of politically skewed opinion disguised as honest independent analysis that you provided in your essay that will eventually destroy Nigeria.<<<
No, it's the conduct of people like you who cannot focus on a debate and who smear people with vile lies and claims in the name of debate that are the problem. You've come here to call me a liar, yet you have not pinpointed one single lie in my piece. To you, a supposed democrat, anyone who holds an opposing view must be drawn and quartered, even where you have no superior argument. What a shame!
You may want to follow the discussion here in the link below. I'm hoping you can learn one or two things, because I've actually addressed some of your claims in my response to others there.

"Sense of belonging" is fine but is it a higher order necessary for the position than propriety and merit? Are there neither qualifications nor other fitness requirement for the office? What fairness- the ruling houses or the people of Kano? Is this another case of the trouble with Nigeria? I am just asking.

Subject: Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Kano, the Emirship and National Security
It's really interesting that peace making is a two way traffic. When the PDP sponsored the propaganda on the appointment of the Chiroman Kano prior to the official announcement by government and even went ahead to congratulate him as a party, it made the appointment of the traditional stool a partisan affair. When it later realised that it goofed, the party later retracted rather shamelessly with no apology whatsoever even as it refused to congratulate SLS the genuinely appointed Emir.
On the rioting in Kano, it has been the tradition in the bigger emirates in the Caliphate since its establishment to have such reactions. The earliest were such rioting in 1937 when the British colonial government appointed the late Sir Abubakar III as the Sultan of Sokoto when people were expecting it were Sardauna to be appointed whom many thought had western education to checkmate the British. In Daura, the late Mohammadu Bashar contested against his father and won and the rioting also took place. In 1963 when Ado Bayero was appointed Emir, there was rioting in Kano in support of any member from the house of Mohammadu Sanusi whose dethronement Kano people later realized was unjustifiable. In 1988 when Dasuki was appointed Sultan similar rioting had to be contended in support of the late Maciddo. In all these instances there were attachment somehow to the family of a deceased Emir. After all, Mohammadu Sanusi was the eldest son of Emir Abdullahi Bayero who died and left about 50 children and brothers, Sanusi himself left about 40 children and brothers and was succeeded by a cousin Mohammadu Inuwa who reigned for only 3 months leaving over 30 children and was succeeded by Ado Bayero a cousin brother who left over 60 children. What makes the throne and contest to it interesting and traditional is the competition among the ruling families that increases each day and while some struggle from the periphery to the center each time there was vacancy in the throne others struggle to remain in the center than the periphery. To be fair, if Ado Bayero the longest serving Emir Kano's history stayed that long, is not fair enough to allow rotation so that other ruling houses are giving a sense of belonging? What usually rekindle the apprehension of loosing the throne was because of what happened in Kano in 1892 when the father of Tukur was appointed Emir and started derobbing other princes from their traditional titles haven been strategically placed at a vantage position to take over the throne after their benefactors. When Tukur succeeded his father it became a major factor in causing the Kano civil war that lasted until 1897.
Mark you, at the time Ado Bayero was made Emir, he was the most radical prince of the period and was never thought he would transform into a hyper conservative he made the Kano stool. Compared to SLS he was among the better educated at that time in 1963. In 2014, SLS is the most radical of all the princes and the better educated in both Western and Islamic education. Why few Kano people are not happy with the appointment of SLS is that they still have Ado Bayero in mind and also wanted to cash on the PDP perceived enmity and for some the appointment was a delicious issue because he seem to represents the kind of radicalism Kano people are when it comes to northern and Nigerian politics, especially in the circumstances Jonathan sacked him. For sure, if had remained in office as CBN Governor to the dead of Bayero, SLS wouldn't have emerged No 10 amongst the contestants. Even if for nothing, Kwankwaso has spite GEJ and the PDP who nailed the cofin of the opportunity of the Chiroma. But SLS would later turn to be the best thing to happen to Kano like Ado Bayero did during his reign. As far as tradition is concern, SLS has realized his life dream and that of the house of his grandfather by bringing the Sanusis into the main fold after over 50 years of been in the periphery.

..Kano, the Emirship and National SecurityThe emergence of Sanusi Lamido Sanusi as the Emir of Kano has opened another political front in the battle between the People's Democratic Party (PDP) and All Progressive Congress (APC) for the soul of our nation at a time we are experiencing one of the worst national security challenges since the Civil War. As we speak, a riot is reported to be going on in Kano following the Kano State Government's announcement of Sanusi Lamido Sanusi as the new Emir.Here is my take. If Sanusi Lamido Sanusi was one of the three names submitted by the Kano kingmakers to Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso, then the governor's right or duty to choose one of the three having being exercised by the choice of Sanusi Lamido Sanusi has to be respected by all. If Kwankwaso made the choice of Sanusi Lamido Sanusi based on political considerations, considering it's a well-known fact that Sanusi Lamido Sanusi is an APC supporter and someone who vehemently opposes President Jonathan and the PDP, this should be left to his conscience. Yes, if as reported, APC bigwigs lobbied hard for him to get there, we have to leave that to the governor's conscience, because he is a Kano man and he will have to live with his decision whatever it is and whatever his motivation.However, having said the above, the people of Kano over whom this man must rule as traditional ruler for life have the ultimate say. If the riot or opposition to his enthronement is the voice of God, the people will ultimately prevail. It would not need the intervention of Abuja forces for this to happen. It will happen. The Kano people will not allow any person to be imposed on them by any agenda-driven governor. It might take sometime, but their will ultimately will prevail. I mean, IF this is an imposition against the will of the people, their will ultimately will prevail….So, for now, let the rest of us who are dancing around, celebrating the enthronement of Sanusi as the downfall of Jonathan step back a little from the brink. Nigeria is bigger than these people. The Emir of Kano is not bigger than the President or the institution of the presidency. The Emir of Kano may be influential, but he has no lawful jurisdiction outside Kano. His job is to keep that place safe, to exercise his power as a traditional ruler that accommodates all in the ancient and cosmopolitan city of Kano and environs. Sanusi Lamido Sanusi has a lot to prove, because of the controversies that have trailed him since the gruesome beheading of Gideon Akaluka in December 1994 and his arrest and investigation over that murder. If there are questions for him to answer as a former Governor of the Central Bank, there's nothing constitutionally granting him any immunity. So, we expect that to take its course, if indeed, there's any outstanding matter. What we would not want to see is the politicization of the issues relating to his Central Bank tenure. In that matter, justice must be done and must be seen to be done, Emir or not. But, if the prosecuting authorities know they are doing this only for political reasons, then it's advisable that they quietly drop the charges and let the man reign in peace.For me, the most crucial issue now is the place of Kano in the national security radar. We are very much aware that the late Ado Bayero was an implacable enemy of Boko Haram, the terrorist group that has laid siege to Kano and the nation for sometime. That group, as we know, attempted unsuccessfully to assassinate him. He showed his true national colours throughout and every true Nigerian respected his stance. It wasn't a stance he took conveniently. From day one, he had showed that he believed in one Nigeria and that was the way he ran his domain, even in the heydays of the Maitatsine crisis, despite the fact that he never had a great relationship with the Abubakar Rimi government, just as he didn't have a great relationship with Kwankwaso. But basically his disagreements with the governors were precisely because he was no politician and never allowed himself to be used to serve partisan ends. He came to the throne from the relatively low-key position of Ambassador of Nigeria to Senegal in 1963. Sanusi Lamido Sanusi is not exactly that type of character. He's coming to the throne fresh from the position of the Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria and he left that post as the most controversial head of the Central Bank we've ever had. He's coming wearing his political colours on his sleeves, having showed he has no scruples being used politically against the central government, at least. It is instructive that his grandfather, Emir Muhammadu Sanusi was dethroned after about ten years on the throne and banished to Azare by the Sardauna, Alhaji Ahmadu Bello over political differences. If Sanusi Lamido Sanusi does not want history to repeat itself, he must now begin to mend fences all round.First, he must start with making peace with the Kano people. Those rioting against his installation are doing so, not because Jonathan or the PDP engineered them, but because of the way he had gone about this business of Emirship, claiming inelegantly that to be the Emir of Kano was his sole ambition when Ado Bayero was still alive and on the throne. Then pursuant to his ambition, he began to bankroll the APC and its candidates massively with the sole purpose of attaining that position once the State governor, Kwankwaso defected to the party from PDP. Now that he's achieved his aim, he has to realize the limits of politics and play the role of an Emir for all.Secondly, he must make peace with the Jonathan government and not attempt to play this as some kind of victory over Jonathan or the PDP. He has to distance himself from the APC now and show that he is his own man, because a political Emir of Kano is not good for Kano and Nigeria. He also must strive to convince the central authorities that he would not make Kano a soft touch for the Boko Haram insurgents. The way to prove this is to openly condemn Boko Haram and cooperate with the state and federal authorities to protect life and property in the city and in the state. He must not let Boko Haram celebrate his ascension as a victory for them and their murderous ideology. If he thinks Boko Haram will spare Kano because he's now the Emir, he's got another think coming. Boko Haram targets Kano precisely because they know it's the commercial nerve centre of the North. Crippling Kano is crippling the North, which accelerates their agenda to destabilize the North and by extension, Nigeria.Thirdly, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi must make peace with the Kano nobility. It's obvious that there is a huge division now arising from his enthronement. He has a great act to follow in the person of Ado Bayero who came in three months after the dethronement of Muhammadu Sanusi and who stooped to conquer in the volatile atmosphere following that dethronement and the short reign of Emir Muhammadu Inuwa. However, Sanusi understands the traditional Kano institutions enough to know that he cannot rule by imposing his views over and above the institutions that hold the monarchy together in all areas. He might be a royal son, but he's still a stranger to their ways because of the long time he's spent outside the emirate. He needs to humbly learn the ropes from those who've been around the throne long before he himself was born. The ball is in his court. He can make Kano a beacon of national unity or the flashpoint of division. The world is watching.All hail Emir Sanusi Lamido Sanusi! May Allah's wisdom guide him in all he does from now on! Amin!Kennedy Emetulu,London…--
