Former Kaduna state senator, Shehu Sani, has berated Kano government’s decision on the removal of Muhammad Sanusi II as the Emir.
Allnews reports that Sanusi was removed from office earlier on Monday after the state Executive approved his dethronement at a special sitting held on Monday by the council.
A press release signed by the Secretary to the State Government, Alhaji Usman Alhaji attributed the removal to the emir’s "total disrespect to lawful instructions from the office of the state Governor and other lawful authorities.
In his reaction, Sani said the removal of the former emir in a tweet said “The Northern Elders Peace keeping force led by General Abdulsalam sent to enforce a ceasefire and restore peace in the Civil war between the Forces of the Emir and that of the Governor failed in their mission;And they quietly withdrew unannounced,leaving behind an escalation.”
In another tweet condemning the development, the former senator said “The removal of Emir Sanusi represents the incompatibility of the crown and conscience, the consequences of dissent against established norms and the heavy price of holding principles in our north. It also revealed the intolerance and toxicity of the liquor of power,” he tweeted.
