Frank, controversial and vocal, the dethroned Emir of Kano, Muhammad Sanusi’s last ambition in life was yesterday thwarted by the action of the state government led by Abdullahi.

Sixty months ago, the dethroned emir had in an interview to mark his coronation in 2015, told newsmen at the Emir’s Palace in Kano that his last ambition in life was to die as an emir.

On February 4, 2015, Sanusi who emerged as Kano emir on June 8, 2014, said “no position is bigger than the emir’s throne.” Sanusi said about his new found glory: “Well, in terms of a position or anything material, I don’t have any.

My prayer is that I move from this palace to my grave. I don’t have any desire or aspiration that I’m targeting. It is natural, I grew up in the palace and for me, and there was never anybody that is more important than the Emir of Kano, both my grandfather and the late Emir of Kano.

“Positions are nothing; it is really what you do with them. So, ultimately, one will like to leave behind a good record of service. I want to leave a reputation where people of Kano would continue to pray for me in remembrance of the good service and leadership I provided to them.

“There is no house that a man will like to live in rather than this palace; there is nothing that a man wants in this life that Allah has not given to me,” the dethroned emir said. On how he felt when Kano kingmakers picked him as the emir, Sanusi II, who was born on July 31, 1961, said it was difficult to express the enormity of his feelings.

His words, “It is difficult for one to express exactly the enormity of feelings of becoming an emir but you know the Quran leaves nothing out and I think the best words any prince can have to express this gratitude were the words used by Prophet Yusuf (AS) after he was given the position Allah gave him.

  He said: ‘Oh father, this is the interpretation of my dream; Allah has made it a true…’ If there is one thing that every Muslim believes in, it is that power comes only from God and only Him knows why He chooses a particular individual and at a particular time and gives him power.

“Therefore, whenever one is chosen to this position, one is overcome by a sense of humility because you know that it is not that you are better than other princes; it is not because you are closer to God than others; it is not because you are clever or strategic, God decided to put you there and our responsibility now is to thank Him.

And try to understand why He put us there and what He would like us to do,” he said.

Now Come back to politics that's museum didn't suits you. But it's your dreams u have test it.. it's just a fancy prison.

E don do abeg

He was obviously crying while saying all these.

Karma played fast!

Tinubu is next! All GEJ's conspirators must suffer it!

Retribution caught up with him!

They hang the throne for your neck when they born you

Then make your own stool, sit on it and die on it. Power drunk people everywhere. What if he wasn't made an Emir in the first place?

Nairaland is only place where you gather information.

Personally, I see Sanusi as an intelligent man. A man that is enlightened..

The sad part of this is that the person that brought him down isn't even able to lace his shoes intellectually. A certified dollar thief. A man we wouldn't want our kids to be like.

But then, Sanusi brought this upon himself

Honestly, this should never have happened. I remember when he became Emir, I was like wtf is this? Why didn’t this my-man-crush just continue in the finance sector. But then, most Northerners are more pro-religion/culture than any other thing, no matter how educated they are.

He should have left politics for people who have time for such. You can’t be a politician and a technocrat at the same time in Nigeria. You have to be one (preferably the technocrat) and outsource the other (to a Jagaban). Failure to do so- ask Ambode.

Oga forget those half truths from Sanusi, if such amount was missing why haven't the buhari administration found it.

It's always easy to criticise, have you heard that Sanusi who claimed to be a friend of the poor has built or renovated a school or contributed to anything that will uplift his environs

What if he becomes Emir in Nassarawa?

Just a crush. But with you? I don’t even dream anymore. The man of my dreams is now in my reality.

i liked him too, he had a body for suits, very fitted. Unlike the rest them who look like Union bank old staffs with winter coat on them.

He also is well spoken in English too, crisp and clear.

The fact that no real educated person has ruled us except from Jonathan is very shameful. I wish we could just split as a country and throw away some tribes (Yes, I'm being tribalistic right now).

I'm not even sure Ganduje can write a full sentence in English to be honest.

We are ruled by Dullards na. Anytime Osibanjo mistakenly takes over as Acting president, you instantly begin to see difference.

Damnnnnn niggarrr

Now he can die in exile

sorry

Bloggers will milk this story die

I once said it will end in tears

Proposition is to human. ONLY GOD disposes
Meanwhile, this shows you still have higher places to go, everything happens for a REASON

Typical selfish Nigerian elite
Las Las na nasarawa till kingdom come for you
