Kano: Sanusi reveals why Bayero, other deposed Emirs are angry

Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi II, the 16th Emir of Kano, has stated that he comprehends the unhappiness of Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero and the other ousted emirs.

Sanusi stated in a Saturday Sun interview that they feel betrayed since they are deprived of the benefits they were granted as emirs.

Sanusi and Bayero are laying claims to the thrones of the Kano Emirate.

Sanusi said, “What we are dealing with is a situation where somebody divided us. And actually, when you create these things, some people get some privileges. They didn’t ask for it, but they’ve enjoyed it for four years.

“Now when they lose it, it’s a problem. But the problem is not what has happened today. It is what happened four years ago. If it had not been done, we would not be in this situation today. We are one family, we are one people. Somebody comes, divides us up.

“Even in this family, he takes one emirate, gives it to a part of the family. Now, when people enjoy it for four years and you take it away from them, it becomes a problem.”

In response to the order for his detention and removal from the palace, Bayero was granted N10 million in compensation by a Federal High Court in Kano on Friday.

Ado Bayero was overthrown by Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf last month and given a 48-hour notice to cede office.
