Obasanjo’s Open Letter To Sanusi Lamido Sanusi Sends A Strong Signal To The Federal Government
Last week the Speaker of the House went with 350 people to go and waste our money in Dubai for his mom’s birthday. The daughter of an Akwa Ibom senator also went with a group of friends to Cape Verde to celebrate a birthday.
Then the needless $22.7 loan of which 40% is a swindle. Adams Oshiomhole was also dispensed with, as he was removed from his arrogant position as APC Chairman.
This week has started with another of the elite embarrassing news of the dethronement of Emir Sanusi Lamido Sanusi of Kano.
However, a man of timber and caliber in the person of former President Olusegun Obasanjo quickly reached out to immediately identify with the deposed Emir of Kano, Alhaji Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, by the Kano State Governor, Mallam Abdullahi Ganduje.
In his usual manner, Obasanjo in a soul-rending letter personally signed by him described the dethronement as sad and good. He wrote, “I woke up this morning and after my morning exercise, devotion and my morning meeting with my staff, I heard the sad and the good news of your removal by the Executive Council of the Kano State Government”
“It is sad because it was undeserved. It is good because you have paid the price “. ” My prayer is that God should give you the fortitude and courage to continue on the path that you have chosen for yourself in the best interest of our country and humanity “. ” Please accept, Your Royal Highness, the assurances of my highest consideration.”.
This is gallantry to see a general in former president Obasanjo’s class reach out to a wounded soldier in the eyes of the storm as he did without looking back.
Alhaji Sanusi Lamido Muhammadu Sanusi II was the 14th Emir of Kano from the Fulani Sullubawa clan. He ascended the throne in 2014, following the death of his granduncle Ado Bayero.
On 9 March 2020, he was deposed by Governor Abdullahi Ganduje. Before his accession as the Emire of Kano, Sanusi was an economist and banker.
He served as the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria from 2009 to 2014 when he was suspended by President Goodluck Jonathan after raising the alarm on the US$20 billion NNPC scandal. He is known for his vocal disposition on national issues.
Sanusi was listed among the 100 most influential people of 2011 by Time Magazine.
