Sanusi spent millions on his palace, never cared for almajiri - Reno Omokri

Reno Omokri Reno Omokri

Former presidential aide, Reno Omokri has revealed the amount Muhammadu Sanusi II spent on running his palace as Emir of Kano to prove he never cared for almajiri.

Sanusi was dethroned as the Emir of Kano on Monday by the Governor Abdullahi Ganduje-led Kano State Government.

Before then, he had been outspoken against the system in the North which he believes is the cause of the poverty witnessed in the region.

However, Reno Omokri who served under ex-president Goodluck Jonathan stated that Sanusi never did anything to help the situation. According to him, Sanusi prefered to spend millions in running his palace as Emir.

He tweeted: "Sanusi talked passionately about educating almajiri and talakawas. Yet, whilst he was Emir, he built not even a single school for them. This is even as he spent billions of Naira renovating his palace. Money that could have built 500 schools for the talakawa he ‘loves’ so much!

"As Emir, Sanusi spent billions renovating his palace, and ?37 million on phone calls in 3 years. He furnished his palace with ?152.6 million. Bought vehicles of almost ?200 million. All at taxpayers expense. How much did he spend on almajiri he loved so much?

"Google the term Taqiyya. Sanusi is the definition of Taqiyya. And I will prove it. He knows what Southerners want to hear. So he says it. As Emir, how Kent schools did he build for almajiri? The @GEJonathan he lied against built 165 such schools. What did he do?

"First Sanusi said $49.8 billion was missing under @GEJonathan. Then he reduced it to $20 billion. Then $12 billion. Then $10.8 billion. General @MBuhari has been in power for 5 years. There is NO record of $10.8 billion missing. Sanusi is reaping what he sowed!".
