Emir Sanusi leads Friday prayer, says no one can question God
The Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, has said no one can ask God for explanation on any issue.
The monarch said this in his sermon at the Kofar Kudu Central Mosque in Kano, where he led the Juma’at prayer.
The sermon focused on belief in Allah, importance of patience and the need to accept destiny as one of the articles of faith.
“Whoever believes that Allah alone gives everything must take his decision wholeheartedly. No one asks Allah’s reasons for anything.
“We were told that whoever does not accept that destiny is from Allah, his belief is not complete. One should be thankful in good and bad situations. We must believe that whatever happens to us is predestined and what we couldn’t have is also from God.
“We are fast approaching Zhul Hijja, which is very beneficial; and we must observe supplications these days.”
The monarch subsequently led prayers and later went back to the palace.
Meanwhile, the 15th Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado Bayero also observed his Friday prayer at the Nasarawa mini palace, alongside teeming supporters and followers.
Earlier, the Kano State police command had dismissed reports that Ado Bayero would lead Jumma’t prayers at Kofar Kudu Central Mosque, Kano, where Mir Muhammadu Sanusi is at the moment.
Both Sanusi and Ado Bayero have been laying claim to the throne, creating confusion in the city.
Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf had dethroned Ado Bayero and asked him to hand over within 48 hours. But the dethroned monarch returned to the town under military protection and has been operating from the mini palace since then.
Meanwhile, the commissioner of police, Kano State command, Usaini Gumel, said five conflicting court orders were served concerning the emirate tussle.
At an emergency meeting with media executives at the police headquarters on Friday, CP Gumel said the orders had been forwarded to the Office of the Attorney General of the Federation for legal advice and interpretation, noting that as a law-abiding institution, the police have no right to interpret them.
Gumel also sought the cooperation of media practitioners in the maintenance of peace, law and order in Kano while the tussle lasts.
The CP advised journalists to be very careful and professional in their reportage to avoid a breakdown of law and order.

Edo guber: LP’s Akpata remains a front runner, set to capture Edo
By Kayode Sanni-Arewa
Less than twenty-four hours to the start of voting in Saturday’s governorship poll in Edo State, a rash of fake news has broken out.
Leading parties in the election have had their fair shares of fake news either indicating the withdrawal of their candidates or disqualification by a Magistrate Court or Supreme Court.
For instance, Olumide Akpata of LP was said to have withdrawn from the race and thrown his support for Asue Ighodalo in a statement that read smoothly and appeared convincing.
THE CONCLAVE sent the statement to Akpata via WhatsApp for confirmed.
He responded by sending the same statement with FAKE NEWS boldly stamped on it.
He said he was set for victory at the poll.
There was also a news flash about the Supreme Court disqualifying Asue Ighodalo of the Peoples Democratic Party, with a sign off: More details coming….
A Magistrate Court in Abuja was also reported to have disqualified Monday Okpebholo of the APC from the poll on account of age falsification.
The APC campaign organisation had swiftly put a lie to the report by deploying the court papers in the circumstance.
