Incoming Kano govt will revisit dethronement of Muhammadu Sanusi – Kwankwaso
Former governor of Kano State and presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) in the last election, Rabi’u Kwankwaso, says the incoming government in the state will revisit the dethronement of Muhammadu Sanusi, as 14th Emir of Kano.
Sanusi, who became emir in the final term of Kwankwaso as governor, was dethroned by outgoing Governor Abdullahi Ganduje, who was deputy governor at the time the monarch was installed.
Sanusi was removed on March 9, 2020, and also banished from Kano and sent to Loko, a remote community in Nasarawa State, while the expenses of the emirate under him were probed.

Ganduje had also split the emirate into five and appointed emirs who were at par.
But speaking in a viral video, Kwankwao said the dethronement and balkanisation of the emirate would be reviewed by the NNPP government of Abba Yusuf, the governor-elect.
“We have campaigned and as you know we are popular in Nigeria especially in Kano state, we are now back and God willing we will continue with the good works our administration left. This incoming governor and his team will take them up.”
“As elders, we will continue to advise them to do the right thing. We tried not intervene in the issue of bringing or removing any Emir, but now, an opportunity has come.
“Those who were given this opportunity will sit down and see to the issues. They will look at what they are expected to do. Beside the Emir, even the emirate has been divided into five places. All these need to be studied. Usually a leader inherits good, bad and issues that are hard to reconcile.”
