Speaking in Abuja during the first annual Chibok Girls lecture, Shahida who represented her father at the programme, said the monarch had dedicated his life to the truth.
She made it clear that he had always wanted to be the emir, but that he believes in the truth.
“My father is not afraid of giving up his throne if it stands in the way of speaking the truth. Those who think that my father would keep quiet because he wants to hold on to his throne, I think they don’t know my father,” she said.
“I know that he has always wanted to be the emir of Kano but to him, if it comes between what is right, what his conscience tells him and choosing the throne, he would happily give up the throne.
“My father has always been a part of one controversy or the other and it’s normal for us. We are not scared anymore.”
The lecture was organised by the Bring Back Our Girls (BBOG) movement, the group which has been advocating the release of the girls abducted by Boko Haram insurgents three years ago. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

ReplyDeleteIf it's true what makes him not to challenge God by saying Islam should be modernise? ???. And Why did he said masses should not marry more than one while he said poor people should not marry?? ??. After Islam has already given the go ahead but make sure you do justice within your families.
ReplyDeleteoga i have followd your trend/comments on this platform, you should be objective in your criticism and rational in your support to your perceived mentors. as regards to emir and islamic idealogy\doctrine sanusi has his freedom of speech he cant change islamic status quo.
ReplyDeleteI'm so proud of you Shahida Sanusi, but I'm even more proud of your dad. His conscience and truth come first not position of authority, material things and fame. Let him keep speaking to the parasite north, so that they release all the wealth of Nigeria to educate and train all the beggars and Almajiri in the north and all over Nigeria. Shame on the northern elite. They are a disgrace to Nigeria and humanity!
