Some prominent Nigerians have taken to their social media handles to react to the removal of Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi II.
The publisher of Ovation Magazine and popular writer, Dele Momodu wrote;
I hope now that GOVERNOR GANDUJE and his co-conspirators have taken their pound of flesh by dethroning the Emir of Kano, their eyes will clear and see later that their own power too is transient! No matter the sins of Emir Sanusi, he is one of the finest citizens of Nigeria. Allah Akbar!”
Former Kaduna lawmaker representing Kaduna Central, Senator Shehu Sani also reacted to the dethronement of the monarch, he wrote;
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.”
