The Emir of Kano, Malam Muhammadu Sanusi ll has urged Nigerians to desist from the culture of rumour mongering in order to foster peace and unity in the country.
Sanusi made the call yesterday in Kano while delivering his annual Sallah message at Kofar Kwaru, Emir’s palace.
The emir said rumour was the source of hatred, disunity and crisis, hence should be avoided to ensure harmony among Nigerians irrespective of their religion or ethnic affiliation.
He urged Nigerians to always think positively, as according to him, no society can develop while its people promote disunity.
The emir also urged youths in the country to be creative in order to reduce dependency on government.
Sanusi, who expressed concern over high cost of foodstuff, called on government and wealthy individuals to help the needy, as the poor were in dire need of assistance.
