The Emir of Kano, Muhammad Sanusi II, a guest speaker at the Mo Ibrahim Forum in Marrakesh, Morocco at the weekend has said Zamfara State which started the implementation of Sharia law in Nigeria is currently the poorest in Nigeria.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Sanusi also said, many of those who seized religion as tool of getting power were not necessarily better than the rest of the people.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

According to him, such people should, however, be given a chance to participate in a democracy, so that they don\u2019t go on pushing a myth that they were not given a chance.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cGive them four years, after sometime people find out that they have not improved education, they have not put food on the table, they\u2019ve not provided healthcare, they vote them out. \u201cSo long as you don\u2019t give them a chance to try and succeed or fail, you have a myth of people being denied an alternative that would make their lives better,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI think the mistake that many people make is that they simply don\u2019t have the patience to wait four years. We have had it in Nigeria; people came and said they were implementing Sharia. Zamfara State started Sharia in Nigeria; it has the highest rate of poverty in the country today. \u201cIt\u2019s a matter of time for people to realise that this is all deception, this is all politics, this is not religion; it is about politicians appropriating religion as a discourse for getting into power.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Emir Sanusi only last week faulted Zamfara State governor on his claim that the recent outbreak of meningitis in the North Western state is a result of God\u2019s punishment for the sins of the people.<\/span><\/p>\n
