More details why the government of The Kano
State under Abdullahi Ganduje dethroned the
Emir of Kano, Lamido Sanusi II have been
revealed.

The government stated that Sanusi was
dethroned over alleged insubordination, refusal
to attend official meetings and breach of Kano
Emirate Law.

Thsi was made known in a press statement
signed by Secretary to the State Government,

Sanusi.

members of the Kano House of Assembly had
engaged in a free-for-all over an attempt to
remove the Emir.

The statement noted that Sanusi’s removal was
a unanimous decision of members of the State
Executive Council.


The statement read, “The Kano State Executive
Council under the Chairmanship of his
Excellency, the Governor of Kano State, Dr
Abdullahi GAnduje, has unanimously approved
the immediate removal/dethronement of the
Emir of Kano Emirate Muhammad Sanusi II.

“The Emir of Kano is in total disrespect to
lawful instructions from the office of the state
Governor and other lawful authorities, including
his persistent refusal to attend official meetings
and programmes organised by the Government
without any lawful justification which amounts
to total insubordination.

“It is on record and in so many instances
Malam Muhammad Sanusi II has been found
breaching part 3 Section 13 (a-e) of the Kano
State Emirate Law 2019 and which if left
unchecked will destroy the good and
established image of Kano Emirate.

“This removal is made after due consultation
with the relevant stakeholders and in
compliance with Part 3 Section 13 of the Kano
State Emirate Law 2019 and other reasons
stated above.

“The removal was reached in order to
safeguard the sanctity, culture, tradition,
religion, and prestige of the Kano Emirate built
over a thousand years.”

The governor subsequently called on the public
to remain calm, law-abiding and to go about
their normal businesses.

“A new Emir of Kano will soon be appointed,”
the statement added.
