We watched our Emirate get cheapened, sold and distributed - Deposed Emir Sanusi's daughter

Shahida, the daughter of the 14th Emir of Kano State, Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi II, has taken to social media to applaud Abba Yusuf, the newly elected governor of Kano state.

Recall that her father, Sanusi was deposed on March 9, 2020 by Governor Abdullahi Ganduje-led administration.

Sanusi was deposed on allegations bordering on insubordination and “banished” by Ganduje to Awe in Nasarawa State, an action that the Federal High Court in Abuja declared as illegal, unlawful and unconstitutional.

After the governorship election held on March 18, the Independent National Electoral Commission declared Yusuf of the New Nigeria Peoples Party as the winner of Saturday’s governorship election in the state.

Professor Ahmed Ibrahim, the NNPP candidate polled 1,019,602 votes to defeat his closest rival, Nasiru Gawuna of the All Progressives Congress, who scored 890,705 votes.

On Tuesday, March 21, 2023, Shahida took to her Instagram page to share her thoughts on the just concluded election.

According to her, the present administration ‘cheapened and sold' the Kano emirate.

“Now if someone that actually deserves that seat sits on it, even if it's not MSH (her father), we will say Alhamdulilah. We just want our emirate to be what it deserves to be,” the mother of three added.

“And if Allah's decree it should be MSH, Alhamdulilah! I want for Kano this type of leadership. We deserve it. We have produced great people. It would be amazing to benefit from them,” she wrote.
