The Emir of Kano, Malam Muhammad Sanusi II, has urged parents to guide their children properly to prevent them from being used to cause mayhem during Saturday’s local government council elections in the state.
He made the call on Friday while addressing the press ahead of the local government council elections scheduled for tomorrow.
According to him, “To my people in Kano State, as you are aware, by Allah’s will, tomorrow there will be local government council elections for all 44 local government areas in the state.”
He emphasized, “All those who love Kano, I am sure, will agree with me that nothing is more important than preserving the peace and security of our state.”
He added, “Those who seek to create mayhem and violence are enemies of the state. Many of them are instigated from outside, but when they do this, it is our children who are killed, our wealth that is destroyed, and our establishments that are damaged.”

Reflecting on recent events, he stated, “We recall what happened some months ago, when miscreants were brought in to cause damage that would cost millions to repair, in addition to the lives lost forever.”
He further emphasized, “I am addressing the people of Kano and urging all of you—parents, ward heads, village heads, imams, and district heads—to call the youth to order and ensure they are not used by the state’s enemies to create violence, leading to loss of lives and destruction of property.”
He concluded with prayers, “We pray to Allah that the election will be held peacefully and that Allah guides our leaders to do what is right for the people, continually improving their standard of living. May Allah protect our state, turn away evil from us, and reward those who wish us well. May He grant us continued peace, security, and stability.”
