Shehu Sani, Reno Omokri, Dele Momodu react to Sanusi's dethronement

Nigerians from all walks of life have reacted to the Kano State Government's dethronement of Muhammadu Sanusi II as the Emir of Kano.

The news of the dethronement was announced by the Director-General, Media and Communications, Kano State Government, Salihu Yakasai, who tweeted on Monday:

"The Kano State Executive Council has unanimously approved the dethronement of the Emir of Kamo Mallam Muhammad Sanusi II at a special sitting held today by the council".

One of those who reacted to the news is Reno Omokri who was an aide to former President Goodluck Jonathan. According to him, Sanusi's predicament is as a result of what he did to Jonathan.

Reno Omokri tweeted: "Last year, I said everyone who falsely accused @GEJonathan, would pay for it. Sanusi Lamido Sanusi is a liar and a manipulative individual, who deliberately lied against GEJ to facilitate the election of General @MBuhari. He has his Buhari. Is he happy?".

Shehu Sani, a former senator representing Kaduna Central, likened the situation to the price paid for going against established norms.

Shehu Sani: "The removal of Emir Sanusi represents the incompatibility of the crown and conscience, the consequences of dissent against established norms and the heavy price of holding principles in our north. It also revealed the intolerance and toxicity of the liquor of power".

Ovation Magazine boss, Dele Momodu, in reaction to the news stated that the dethronement might pave way for Sanusi to get to the next level God is taking him to.

"Nothing beclouds reasoning than envy! The last time SANUSI was booted out as Central Bank Governor, he soon became the Emir! Who knows where God is taking him next... God’s ways are mysterious... Allah Akbar!", he tweeted.
