Sanusi Speaks: Tells Kano What To Do

A video of the deposed emir of Kano, Mallam Mahmmadu Sanusi II reacting to his deposition has emerged.

In the video apparently recorded before his relocation to Loko in Nasarawa State, Sanusi affirms his acceptance of his fate and enjoined his former subjects to give honour to his successor.

In the video recording sighted by GreenWhiteGreen, the emir said the will of God will always prevail in the eyes of men.

He said:

“With almost six years on this throne and (in charge of) our heritage. Today, the almighty Allah, who gave me the leadership has destined to take it back,” Mr Sanusi said.

“As I always say, leadership has predetermined tenure, the days Allah destined are numbered. When the days come to an end one must leave.

“We have accepted whatever Allah decides. We have agreed. We appreciate (God). We are happy and we know it is what is best for us.”

Calling on titleholders and subjects to respect and honour his successor, he said:

“We enjoin everyone to remain peaceful. We have directed our family, our children and those that support us that whoever gets it and is endorsed by the people they should pay allegiance to him.

“They should follow him (the new emir). They should guard his honour and dignity because that is also the honour and dignity of this palace.”

“It is a thing of pride that made us to rule and end in the same fashion as Halifa,” he said using the sobriquet of his famous grandfather who was also deposed by the late premier of Northern Nigeria in 1963.
