The dethroned emir of Kano,
Muhammad Sanusi II has broken his silence after his dethronement by the Kano
State government.
In
a 4.39-minute video posted on social media, Sanusi, who spoke in Hausa, said it
is God that made him the Emir of Kano state and it is God’s will that he is no
more the Emir of Kano.
He
prayed for the progress of the state and appealed to the people of the state to
remain calm and not resort to violence.
The Kano State Governor, Dr.
Abdullahi Ganduje, on Monday, dethroned the 14th Emir of Kano,
Muhammadu Sanusi II, after five years on the throne.
The
Secretary to the State Government, Alhaji Usman Alhaji, stated that the removal
of Sanusi, whose grandfather, Muhammadu Sanusi I, was deposed
in 1963, was unanimously approved by the state executive council.
However, before the
announcement was made, there were signs that a major decision was in the offing
as heavily armed security agents were drafted to the major parts of the city,
including the palace of the monarch.
Hence,
a letter communicating the decision of the Kano State Government to sack the
Emir of Kano was transmitted to the monarch prior to his eviction from the
palace on Monday.
See the letter below;
Translation;
“O Allah, Owner of Sovereignty, You give sovereignty to whom You will and You take sovereignty away from whom You will. You honor whom You will and You humble whom You will. In Your hand is [all] good. Indeed, You are over all things competent.-Sura Aal-E-Imran, Ayah 26
Also, Muhammadu Sanusi gave his first statement after his dethronement on Monday.
