The former presidential candidate from the Labour Party has praised the Nigeria Police Force for rescinding the invitation made to the Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi.

Obi expressed that the invitation was unwarranted and could have worsened an already tense situation.

Reports earlier indicated that the Emir had been called in connection with a suspected murder during the Sallah celebrations in Kano last Sunday.

The incident reportedly took place after Sanusi returned home from attending the Eid prayers.

While he had walked to the prayer ground, he returned to the palace on horseback.

However, after public backlash, the Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, decided to retract the invitation for Sanusi.

Egbetokun also instructed the Kano State Command to gather a statement from Sanusi regarding the event.

In his response, the former Governor of Anambra State took to his X account on Monday to commend the choice to withdraw the summons.

Obi proposed that a more decentralized handling of the situation would help foster peace and increase public confidence.

He said: “I would like to commend the Nigeria Police Force for the wise and timely decision it took to withdraw the invitation extended to His Royal Highness Muhammadu Sanusi II. In light of the current tensions within our society, such an invitation was unnecessary and could have further heightened an already inflamed situation.

“There is a fully functional police command in Kano, with sufficient capacity to address such matters within the State. That is precisely why we have senior-ranking officers, including Commissioners of Police and Zonal Assistant Inspectors-General (AIGs), to handle issues of this nature appropriately at the state and zonal levels.

“Once again, I appreciate the decision to withdraw the invitation. A decentralized approach would encourage peace and public trust. -PO”
