Why Ganduje Removed Sanusi As Emir Of Kano – Kwankwaso
Former Kano Governor, Engr Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso says the dethronement of Muhammad Sanusi II as Emir of Kano was spurred by Governor, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje deep-seated resentment for traditional institution in the state.
Eko Hot Blog reports that Kwankwaso assertion was contained in a statement issued by his Principal Private Secretary, Muhammad Inuwa Ali on Tuesday,
He averred that the removal of Sanusi was borne out of the Governor’s inferiority complex.
Kwankwaso said Ganduje was intimidated by the intellectual acumen of Sanusi, his standing and influence he wielded in the state.
Kwankwaso said; “We know that Ganduje always feels diminished and inferior in the presence of the Emir, and we know that Gov Ganduje harbours a pathological hatred for the Kano Traditional Institution, that was why he had to dethrone him.
Kwankwaso noted that Ganduje resolve and ‘mad’ obsession with overturning his policy and everything he did in the state culminated in the Governor’s determination to desecrate the Kano Emirate with Emir Sanusi II targeted as the first victim.
“Let me also put on record that Emir Sanusi II was abducted and illegally dethroned by Gov. Ganduje and his cohorts because of the Emir’s progressive ideas on various issues that affect the people of the State.” he said
Kwankwaso said former President Goodluck Jonathan played no role in the removal of Sanusi.
He said matters came to a head and trouble began after Sanusi publicly criticised the Governor’s “desperation to obtain the $1.8 billion loan”, nothing that Sanusi opposition of the government move was the genesis of his predicament.

He said it was a common knowledge that Sanusi was too much of a liberal and progressive for Ganduje’s liking, reason why he installed Emirs who would be amenable to him and won’t question his action actions and decisions.
“It is common knowledge that the Emir was too progressive for Gov. Ganduje’s liking and that was exactly why after his illegal removal and the dismemberment of the Kano Emirate Council, he appointed Emirs that will not question his ill-advised decisions even if they are against the interest of the state and its people.”
