ALERT ON KANO: Tomorrow is Friday. We have credible information that
Jonathanians in Kano and their agents have received huge sums of money
to get youths to protest massively and cause mayhem after the Juma'at
prayers.
The Jonathanians hope the protests will lead to
violence, destruction and loss of lives, while the federal security
agencies watch helplessly, thus giving President Jonathan the excuse to
declare a state of emergency in Kano State, remove Governor Kwankwaso
and
depose Emir Sanusi Lamido Sanusi.
This plan will fail. By God's Grace, tomorrow's Juma'at prayers in Kano
will be uneventful except for special prayers for the repose of Late
Emir Ado Bayero.
Whoever sold this evil plan to the Jonathanians
should know that those who fight the will of God will end in ignominious
perdition.
Those wish for violence, plan it against innocent
people, or use the offspring of the poor, needy and illiterate by
putting them recklessly in harm's way will face the wrath of Almighty
God.
I join others in appealing to Governor Kwankawaso and the
citizens of Kano to maintain the peace and good order that exists in
Kano, and exercise restraint in the face of blood-thirsty Jonathanian
provocation.
We shall overcome these Jonathanian challenges and
Kano and indeed the whole of Nigeria will prosper. The enemies of our
nation and people that pretend to be leaders during the day, while
planning the murder of citizens at night, will reap what they are
sowing, by God's Grace.
