Sanusi’s Emergence As Leader ‘A Blessing’ – Tijjaniyya Sheikhs
Leaders of the Tijjaniyya Islamic sect have described the former Emir of Kano, Mohammadu Sanusi II’s emergence as Tijjaniya leader a blessing to Nigeria.
The clerics, who disclosed this when they paid an allegiance visit to his Kaduna home, also said all their followers in Nigeria and Africa are proud of him.
The representative of the leader of Tijjaniyya Worldwide, Sheikh Abdul-Ahad Nyass, who paid glowing tribute to the former emir said it was a unanimous decision to have the former emir as the leader in Nigeria.
In his remarks, former Emir Sanusi recalled that long before he ascended the throne in Kano, he had visited great Tijjaniyya sheiks in Kaulaha, Senegal, who had prayed and rightly predicted he would become Emir of Kano.
According to him, 80% of those who endorsed him in the present leadership of the Tijjaniyya were Sheikhs not known to him.
