Muhammadu Sanusi II Muhammadu Sanusi II

Muhammadu Sanusi II has accepted his dethronement as the Emir of Kano which was declared by the Kano State Government on Monday.

Sanusi has since been replaced as Emir of Kano by Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero who was installed as the Emir of Bichi in 2019 by the State Government.

“The throne of an emir is not permanent, every king and leader should know this, If it were a permanent throne, I wouldn’t have been the emir of Kano”, Sanusi disclosed in a video shared on Facebook.

“Before I came, someone was the emir and before him someone else was there, therefore, it’s nothing that would shock anybody.”

Sanusi added that “Whenever God says your time on the throne is over if you don’t leave with your legs, people will carry your body out of the palace.”

Expressing gratitude for the peaceful end, he said: “therefore I thank God that brings to me a peaceful end without any rancour or chaos”.

“We thank the prophets, Imans, those who have been behind us all these years. We call on the entire Umah to remain in peace.

“Any person who succeeds me should be accepted by the people of Kano so he can end well.

“God does not make a mistake, whatever he gives is the best, and today don’t be disturbed, whatever thing that God started, it is the end we hope for and may God help this to end well.

“We thank the entire Muslims who have been supporting us year by year, the entire people of Kano and may god help them to continue to live in people. May God give us a good leader and give our land back to us.

“We leave you people with sweetheart and thanks.”
