Rabiu Kwankwaso, presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), says the incoming government in Kano will revisit the dethronement of Muhammadu Sanusi.

Abdullahi Ganduje, outgoing governor of the state, dethroned Sanusi, 14th emir of Kano, in 2020, over allegations of insubordination.

Aminu Bayero, son of the late Ado Bayero and emir of Bichi, was installed as Sanusi’s replacement.

In a viral video posted on social media on Saturday, Kwankwaso said he is confident that Abba Yusuf, governor-elect of the state, would have the wisdom to resolve “challenges” in the state.

“We campaigned and we are well-known in Nigeria, especially in Kano. What we showed the people is by God’s grace all the good projects we started when we were in government. This governor (Abba Kabir Yusuf) and his team will pick up from where we left off,” Kwankwaso said.

He said the opportunity to revisit Sanusi’s dethronement has presented itself and that he would advise the incoming government on what to do as an elder.

“We as elders in the movement will continue to advice them to do things that are proper,” Kwankwaso said.

“We tried not to talk about whether the Emir would be removed or not, but now you see, the opportunity is there.

“Those who God made leaders will now decide on the next step and decision to take. They will review it and determine what is the right thing to be done.

“Apart from the issue of changing the emir, the emirates have now been divided into five. All of that will be reviewed too. When a leader comes into power whether in a country, state or local government area, he inherits things that are good and things that are difficult and challenging.

“We are confident God will give the governor (Abba Kabir Yusuf) the wisdom to come and resolve the challenges planted in Kano state so that everyone will leave peacefully in Kano state.

Emir Sanusi’s mandate was his people.

He fervently pursued their interest and was willing to rebuke those who had chosen to pursue personal interest at the peoples’ expense.

This was an unforgivable ambition to the political elites, who keep weaponizing poverty as their foremost re-election resource and have held the state ransom to underdevelopment.

It was unforgivable to the gandollar governor who wanted an emir that will serve at the pleasure of his intent, and not serve the interest of the people or be courageous enough to demand good governance.

This emir was too much threat to the northern elites hegemony. And so, an emir who evidences their greed or at the least, is willing to be blind to the excesses of elected officials and is willing to be superintendent on narrow minded customs was more desirable.

In fact, an Emir who is dumb and with a quarter Brain only for pleasure and reception, would have been the governor’s foremost choice for replacement. Not one, trying to act in whatever guise as some check.

I am glad Kano may get back its Emir that is raving utter about the lack of affordable healthcare for his people, that is passionate about the employment of his people, that is willing to call out the representative or appointed official that has not provided potable water, or decent infrastructure as schools.

I am glad Kano may get back an Emir that doesn’t care about the Cheques from those exploiting his people, and is willing to endorse only those who have shown commitment to the proper ideals or pass a vote of no confidence on those who have veered of from ideals sacrosanct to the progress of his people. He is an Emir who is interested in the cultivation of his faculty to serve his people and wouldn’t trade his tongue for the throne. That is a man who can cause a shift.

Hope it won't be another kasala and godfatherism!
