CONFERMENT OF SARDAUNAN KANO ON GOV. SHEKARAU


The conferment of sardaunan kano on Mallam (Dr) Ibrahim Shekarau the executive governor of kano state by Emir of kano Alhaji (Dr) Ado Bayero is a plus to the political profile of Mallam Shekarau. However, the conferment of this tittle to Shekarau generates a lot of comments within and outside the state. While some are saying it’s indeed a plus to his Excellency’s political carrier and are rejoicing with him, others are seeing it in the other way round.

Definitely, whatever it is, the Emir of kano make a wiser decision by chosen Mallam Ibrahim Shekarau as sardaunan kano and at the right time, especially taking into consideration the way Mallam Shekarau is continuously transforming and developing the state and its people in different forms.

Foristance, Tamburawa water dam constructed/built by Mallam Shekarau is second to none in Africa, has bring an end to the scarcity of water suffered by the good people of kano state for several years, employment opportunity to youths, helping the physically challenged ones, the less privileges and expansion of the major roads in the city which is currently going on so as to reduce the rate of congestion in the city and also to enhance the commercial activities of the state-also in the past two months, people of kano state experienced or start experiencing uninterrupted power supply. All these are development recorded under Shekarau’s administration.

Dedicating himself tirelessly to the service of humanity and giving everyone his due right irrespective of religious, political or tribal differences, sacrifice, God-fearing, selfless service and many other things are what earned Mallam Ibrahim Shekarau the tittle of sardaunan kano. Because even some states in this country testified the kind of transformation that kano state has recorded and are still achieving under the administration of Mallam Shekarau, and as such he was awarded with the traditional tittle of Onwa Na-Etiri oha1 na Ehaalumono from southern part of this country. This shows that his commitment (Mallam Shekarau) to serve the good people of kano state and indeed Nigeria as a whole is appreciated. Truly, the executive governor of kano state, Imam of societal reorientation, deserves to be called magajin sardaunan Sokoto because his commitment to the service of humanity and development of his people is similar to that of late sardaunan Sokoto Alhaji Sir Ahmadu Bello.

It is well known to everyone that since after it’s creation, kano state did not witness rapid transformation and development like in the seven years ago under the excellent innovative leadership of Mallam Ibrahin Shekarau- This is a blessed development and opportunity that people of kano state should be proud of and thanks the almighty God for blessing them with a governor that pay attention to nothing but development and upliftment of his people. Therefore, his Excellency Mallam (Dr) Ibrahim Shekarau, Imam of societal reorientation, garkuwan Ilimi, sardaunan kano, Onwa Na-Etiri oha1 na Ehaalumono, magajin sardaunan Sokoto needs nothing from people of kano state than prayers for God to grant him his wishes and give him the opportunity to deliver the mandate given to him successfully by people of kano state. We pray that Almighty Allah in His own will and power will one day give Governor Shekarau an opportunity to serve the country at large insha Allah.
Lastly, I am concluding this paper with a prayer, seeking refuge from the Almighty from all evils and harmful acts. May he also be our guardian in all our endeavours, ameen.
