World Khalifah of Tijjaniyya denies asking Sanusi to step down

World Leader of Tijjaniyya Sect, Sheikh Muhammad Mahi Niasse, has strongly denied a purported letter in circulation claiming he appealed to the reinstated Emir of Kano Muhammadu Sanusi II to step down and follow his grandfather’s footsteps.

In a counter letter written in Arabic and translated to Hausa, signed by the Commissioner of Religious Matters of Kano State and who also doubled as the Nigeria spokesperson of the Global Tijjaniyya Leader, Sani Auwalu Ahmad Tijjani, said the purported letter asking Emir Muhammadu Sanusi II to step down is a forged document that did not emanate from their leader.

“In fact, the purported letter has touched on the integrity of our leader who sees Muhammadu Sanusi II as his disciple in Nigeria, and a Person of humble background with sound religious character.
