The dethronement of the Emir
of Kano State, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi by the Ganduje administration have been reported
by sources around the security apparatus as having the clear support of the
Presidency, particularly, the President, Muhammadu Buhari.
Our source points to the
outspoken nature of the deposed Emir as the chief reason the Presidency wanted
the Emir removed. “The man behind the curtain is Buhari” said
the source who continued to add that the Presidency viewed the Emir’s actions
during the general elections of 2019 as clearly anti-Buhari.
Shortly following 2019
general elections, the rift between the Governor of Kano, Ganduje and the
Lamido Sanusi caught the attention of the President via the intervention of the
Kaduna State Governor, Nsiru El Rufai. Gov. Ganduje had threatened to suspend the Lamido Sanusi from the stool of Emir should he fail to answer to
allegations of financial misappropriation.
Through Buhari’s
intervention, Sanusi dodged the bullet.
This time around, Buhari
decided to allow the chips to fall where they may.
“The video below shows the deposition
of Emir Sanusi received the FULL backing of the Presidency as he was flown to Loko village in Nasarawa in a Presidential Jet, with SSS, Army, Police, an
arrangement that was supposed to be done by the Kano State Government“.
Interestingly, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi’s reaction to his dethronement
was simple and non-vindictive. In his words, “The
throne of an Emir is not permanent, every King and Leader should know this.If
it was a permanent throne, I wouldn’t have been the emir of Kano. Before I came
someone was Emir and before him, someone else was there. Whenever God says your
time on the throne is over, if you don’t leave with your legs, people will
carry your body out of the Palace. It is God that gives power and it is God that
takes power“.“.
