Choose a Leader with Integrity and Capacity to Govern…HH Muhammad Sanusi II, GoNigeria Advocate

…As Youth Participation Advocacy Intensifies with the Launch of GoNigeria

His Highness, Muhammad Sanusi II, has admonished educated young Nigerians to choose leaders with integrity and capacity to govern them in the upcoming 2023 general elections.

HH Sanusi II, the 14th Emir of Kano, Grand Khalifa of Tijjaniya Order, recently asserted that it is through active youth presence in the nation’s electoral process, that the desired change in the political system being clamoured for, can be realized.

According to him, ‘It is not always easy to have a leader who has both integrity and capacity to govern – two important qualities of a leader. If a leader does not have both integrity and capacity to govern, choose the one that can govern because his capacity to govern will benefit the people while his lack of integrity will be his harm. If you choose a man who has integrity without the capacity to govern, his lack of capacity to govern will harm the people while his integrity will only benefit himself,” he avowed.
