Emir of Kano Dethroned And Aminu Ado Bayero Enthroned
The Emir of Kano, Malam Muhammadu Sanusi ll has been dethroned over disrespect to the office of the governor and other government instructions and enthroned Aminu Ado Bayero.
This was made known in a press release by the executive council under the chairmanship of his excellency the Governor of Kano State Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje.
He said the emir’s action violated the part 3 section A-E of Kano state law, hence the removal. He said the removal was in line with a consultation with relevant stakeholders. Alhaji concluded that a new emir would be announced in due course.
However, Alhaji Sanusi said, “With almost six years on this throne and (in charge of) our heritage. Today, the Almighty Allah, who gave me the leadership has destined to take it back,” Mr. Sanusi said in a video clip before he was whisked away to Nassarawa State where he is expected to live throughout his lifetime on earth.
“As I always say, leadership has predetermined tenure, the days Allah destined are numbered. When the days come to an end one must leave.
“We have accepted whatever Allah decides. We have agreed. We appreciate (God). We are happy and we know it is what is best for us.
“We enjoin everyone to remain peaceful. We have directed our family, our children and those that support us that whoever gets it and is endorsed by the people they should pay allegiance to him.
“They should follow him (the new emir). They should guard his honour and dignity because that is also the honour and dignity of this palace,” he added.
