The Emir of Potiskum in Yobe, Umar Bubaram Ibn Wuriwa Bauya, has solicited support of the Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sunusi II, towards completion of the mosque project at his palace.
Mr Bauya stated this during a visit to Sunusi II, on Sunday in Kano.
“We are seeking your usual support for the completion of a Juma’at Mosque at my palace which we started about three years ago but the project has been stalled by some financial difficulties.
“We hope that you will help us to complete it,” he said.
Mr Bauya, who is the first emir from the north to pay homage to Sunusi II, said he was at the palace to extend his support to Sanusi.
According to him, history is repeating itself with the second coming of Sunusi II, as the 16th Emir of Kano.
“This kind of historic development happened to me some 26 years ago, and with the help of Allah, I returned as an emir, and I’m living peacefully with my people.
“The return of Emir Muhammadu Sunusi II is a significant milestone that justified that he is a good leader who thinks and acts for his people.
“As such, you should count on my personal support and that of my people,” Bauya said.
Responding, Mr Sanusi thanked Mr Bauya for the visit.
Mr Sanusi, who is also the Nigerian Spiritual Leader of the Tijjaniyya Islamic Sect, said the visit signified unity and togetherness among the traditional leaders, adding that it would impact positively on their lives and security of their subjects.
