Deposed Emir of Kano, Lamido Sanusi can’t just stop talking. And that is the truth. According to the former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, he can still return to the throne if he wants!
Sanusi stated this in a video that went viral over the weekend, and after his dethronement and banishment on Monday, March 9, 2020 by the Abdullahi Ganduje-led Kano State Government.
In the trending video, lasting about 45 seconds, Sanusi thundered: “I have done what I could in six years.
“I’m moving on.
“I don’t want to go back.
“The truth is: if I had wanted to go back, the dethronement letter was so badly written, it was not done professionally.
“The easiest thing is just to go to court.
“It’s simple… fair hearing: ‘Did you query him?
“‘Did you ask him to defend himself?
“‘Did you even call him to ask him any question?’
“No.
“That’s all, but I think we should go on to a new phase in life.”
Sanusi, equally a one time Managing Director of First Bank, was immediately replaced by Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero, one of the sons of the 13th Emir of Kano, Alhaji Ado Bayero, who died in 2014. He was the 14th Emir and unarguably one of those with the shortest reigns.
Initially banished to Awa, in Nasarawa State, his legal team went to court to fight that. And not long after it was quashed, he flew to Abuja with his friend and Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, en route to Lagos – where he currently is.
