I am not sure I know how to address you especially now that the formal Ranka ya dade is of no use to you since you are now in eternity. However, because this is a very special year, I had decided to write two letters, one to you and the other to Sir Tafawa Balewa. I thought I should start with you for obvious reasons. These letters are my formal way of having an imaginary conversation with both of you.

For us, growing up as children in my little and very remote village, Sokoto registered in our memories only because your great stature served as a beckon that pulled the city nearer to us. Yet, looking back, how could I have imagined that I would not only visit Sokoto, but also become a citizen of this state? I deliberately drove to Rabah just to have a feel of where you grew up and where your father had served as a District Head.

Our children fill the streets begging for food, their elder brothers who have some education have no jobs and nowhere to turn to, their parents have no work and those who have worked are dying with no pension. Farming has become a hazardous preoccupation. You will weep if you see where we are now. Selfishness has consumed us and the army has deserted the battlefield because there is no one to lead them.

Today, we look back at all the ideals that guided you. Despite its shortcomings, you were determined to ensure that the North did not lag behind. To do this, you undertook to navigate a very difficult and treacherous terrain without a clear compass. You tried to wield together a medley of peoples with conflicting and challenging histories, cultures, aspirations and so on.

May God strengthen Bishop M Kukah

And what is Kukah doing now?

This letter is written not just to Aminu Kano, but to those who is hypocritical in their ways; keeping silent at what should be condemned just because it was done by his tribe man. May we not continue sowing/watering this seed of discord down in time past.

'You will be surprise to note that those you referred to as the scallywags in Lagos, those who booed at you in the wake of the debate over self government in 1956 were largely responsible for garnering support for General Buhari, a son of Daura who is now our President’. Hmmmm

I was touched emotionally reading this letter to aminu kano. May God heal our land and may God continue to strengthen bishop kukah to never waver in his resolve to see a better Nigeria with visionary and true leadership.

'the northerner first agenda' which was conceived with good intentions has now turned to Northern Muslims first and no one else.

This incomplete story it makes no sense at all. Pls read first

So touching, may the souls of the departed rest in peace

What controversial conversions?. Kukah you are the one cooking controversies. Sir Ahmadu Bello is the premier of the north, there hasn’t been any allegation that he used his power to convert Christians to Muslims. He’s pro north in his actions because of the regional govts.

This passing a message to three different peoples. The Fulani Oligarchs (The presidency and caliphate), the northerners and those who can decipher the undertone of the letter. Even with all the wonderful things he did in the north, the Sarduana sowed the seed of discord.

Bishop who are u referring to as a cardinal? I am aware you are not one
