The kano state government today dethroned the Emir of kano Mallam Mohammad Sanusi 11 at a special sitting by the council today.
This did not come as a surprise as Sanusi has been in battle with the governor of the state over his loyalty to opposition political party PDP candidate in the governorship election.
Sandi also has been under investigation for alleged corruption and his emirate divided into five to reduce his power on the kano emirkanji
As the embattled Emir leaves , he says this,
“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”
Sanusi Lamido Sanusi
