Sanusi vs ganduje kano govt out to dethrone emir at all costs
It appears you're referring to the ongoing controversy surrounding the Kano State Government's decision to suspend the Emir of Kano, Muhammad Sanusi II, and the subsequent backlash from various quarters.
To provide some context, the Kano State Government, led by Governor Abdullahi Ganduje, suspended Emir Sanusi II on March 9, 2020, citing alleged disrespect to the governor and the state government. The suspension was met with widespread criticism and protests from various groups, including traditional leaders, politicians, and civil society organizations.
The controversy surrounding the suspension has been fueled by allegations of political vendetta and a desire to undermine the traditional institution of the emirate. Many have argued that the suspension is a clear attempt to undermine the authority and autonomy of the emirate, which has been a thorn in the side of the Ganduje administration.
Emir Sanusi II, who has been a vocal critic of the Ganduje administration, has been accused of disloyalty and disrespect to the government. However, many have defended the emir, citing his constitutional right to express his opinions and his role as a traditional leader.
The situation has taken a dramatic turn, with many calling for the reinstatement of the emir and the withdrawal of the suspension. The controversy has also sparked concerns about the future of the traditional institution in Kano State and the potential implications for the state's political landscape.
It's worth noting that the controversy has also raised questions about the role of the traditional institution in modern Nigerian politics and the balance between the powers of the state government and the emirate.
In your opinion, do you think the Kano State Government's decision to suspend Emir Sanusi II is a legitimate exercise of its powers, or is it an attempt to undermine the traditional institution and silence a vocal critic?
