Former Emir of Kano State, Mohammad Sanusi II, has ridiculed the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano state governor candidate, Dr Nasiru Yusuf Gawuna, and other chieftains for allegedly attempting to steal power through corrupt judges. Sanusi said the APC knew they lost the governorship state on March 18 yet went to court to hijack the mandate of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, as reported by Daily Trust.
Sanusi made this statement while speaking on accepting destiny during a lesson session. The former Central Bank governor said it is too late for the APC to accept defeat after attempting to seize power through a court process not knowing God was waiting.
According to Sanusi, “One laughable thing is that after some people were defeated in an election, they went to court to hijack power. At last in the court, they met Allah in wait. After stopping them from gaining power by force, now they said that they had accepted His decision. The best time to accept destiny is after the polls. You know people did not vote for you. You know you lost but made moves to hijack power. It’s too late.”
In a related development, Naja’atu Yusuf, the mother of Kano state governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, prayed for the reinstatement of Sanusi. Lamido, a former CBN governor, was dethroned by former Governor Abdullahi Ganduje’s administration in 2020. The governor’s mother prayed that Sanusi be reinstated to the throne of his fore-bearers, ‘Gidan Dabo’.
Furthermore, teeming supporters of Governor Yusuf have called for the governor to revisit the law splitting the old Kano Emirate into five, with the aim to reinstate the deposed 14th Emir of Kano, Muhammad Sanusi. Yusuf’s supporters welcomed him after the Supreme Court judgment with chants of “New Governor, New Emir”, a chant that has become synonymous with the call for the reinstatement of the deposed emir.
