Babachir to ex-Emir Sanusi: Borrow Bible read Psalm 37, for strength

Light of Truth

Babachir said he had been in the shoes of the deposed ruler and the monarch’s stance for the poor and the downtrodden especially in the North, will eventually lead to his emergence as a stronger and better person. Babachir made the remarks in a statement issued to newsmen, in Yola, Adamawa State. Addre-ssing the embattled Emir of Kano, Babachir said: “Good morning your Royal Highness. Please, note that wherever and however you may be now, God is with you; good Nigerians are with you and we the lovers of the North stand with you.” Given the way God does His things, this is only the beginning of good things and His showers of ble-ssings upon you. “We, lovers of Nigeria particularly the northern Nigerian ones, have listened to you and are in total agreement with what you say and the way you say it and we shall yet cele-brate with you.” He explained that “I have gone through this type of experience and I have come out the better and stronger for it. You are a hero of all the poor, the uneducated and the oppressed northerners in parti-cular and indeed Nigerians. “But you are also hated by the corrupt rich, the educated illiterates, the tribalists, some hard-lined fue-dalists and religious bigots and they are more powerful, more united and can muster more recourses than us.” “But God is God. No man is God. Man can only be a tin god for a brief period, wither like the flower, and thereafter be accountable for all his actions on the day of judge-ment before our Lord, Jesus Christ. “Your Highness, I reco-mmend Psalm 37 to you; borrow a Bible and read it, that is if you do not already have one.” Ma-king reference to the situation of some Nigerian leaders he admo-nished the monarch saying, “God is God. No man is God.”
