The Director General, Media and Communications, Kano State Government, Salihu Yakasai, on Sunday insulted the Emir of Kano, Muhammad Sanusi II, on Twitter, telling the Emir to “stop opening his filthy mouth”.
Yakasai, who tweeted through his handle, @Dawisu, attacked Sanusi over his comment on the abduction of some children from Kano State.
There is this unfounded rumour about the abduction of children from northern Nigeria to the South-East where they were given Igbo names and converted to Christianity.
Reacting to the abduction of the Kano children, Emir Sanusi on Saturday said Igbo should not be attacked.
He blamed northern parents, who he said have the bad habit of allowing their children roam the streets to beg, thereby making them vulnerable to kidnap.
But in his response, Ganduje’s aide said, “A very reckless comment to make. I wonder if any of his relatives get kidnapped or stolen, he will act the same way. The kids are not almajiris for goodness sake. SLS (Sanusi Lamido Sanusi) should have kept quiet instead of opening his filthy mouth to make such insensitive remarks. Nonsense!”
Yakasai’s tirade has outrgaged many Twitter users, who had berated him for insulting the monarch.
One Adamu Sarki Aliyu tweeted, “Our royal highness is on track. What he said is good. Don’t politicise his statement.”
Lamido tweeted, “Dawisu has lost it a long time ago. I don’t know why he chose to be bitter with Muhammad Sanusi.”
AYZarewa added, “Dawisu has been ranting all over Twitter about SLS’ words, where are his children at 10pm? Does he leave them roaming the streets? Go to Yakasai by 10.30pm, you’ll see the meaning of negligence. This contributes to the child trafficking and rape, like it or not.”
