The criminals that destroyed the north by deposing Emir Sanusi will soon
turn their attention on Sultan Saad Abubakar of Sokoto and Shehu
Abubakar El-Kanemi because they want to remove any voice of reason from
the north , loot down the region and disappear into Saudi Arabia, Kuwait
and US to enjoy their loots. The CUPP had last year raised alarm that
there is a plan to depose Sultan of Sokoto and Emir of Kano for holding
views contrary to that of the parties in power.
In December last year, I wrote a piece titled ‘Planned Deposition of
Emir Sanusi; Foolishness of Northern Elites’ the next day, the
Presidency set up a committee headed by Ex Maximum leader Abdulsalami
Abubakar, Yakubu Gowon, Adamu Fika, Governor Fayemi among others to
resolve the Ganduje, Sanusi feud.
In the second piece titled ‘Plot to Depose Sanusi; North Sheds
Foolishness as Buhari,,Abdulsalami, Gowon Intervenes’ I posited that
“The worst humiliation to the Emirate stool is the new law that when
an emir wants to travel out of the state, he sends letter to the local
government chairman, instead of the governor. Thus Emir Sanusi will have
to take permission from a houseboy local government chairman of Kano
Metropolis before he can visit the Emir of Zazzau in Zaria.
“Soon the law will be extended to Sokoto and the Sultan will take
permission from the Chairman of Sokoto Local Government Area before he
can attend Argungu Festival in Kebbi Emirate jurisdiction. The Shehu of
Borno will soon beg Maiduguri Local Government Chairman before he can
attend a state function in Abuja.
“Governor Ganduje has humiliated the north. He has desecrated the
revered emirate mystique of northern Nigeria. This nuisance may continue
until Almajiris turns Emirs to lap dogs. Babangida started it, Abacha
joined in 1996, Obasanjo and Aliero took it to another level in 2005.
These men are former Presidents. Now a Governor is threatening an emir
as though he is a councilor Soon a local government chairman will depose
the Emir of Bauchi, and soon again road transport workers will banish an
Emir of Daura. Ganduje is sowing the seeds and it will germinate very
soon”
Now that the hawks have deposed Sanusi, I want to tell the north that
the cycles of depositions have started. The Sultan of Sokoto, Sa’ad
Abubakar is next in line. The Shehu of Borno, Alhaji Abubakar Ibn Umar
Garbai Al-Amin El-Kanemi will be the next until they have turned
Sultanate and Emirates to rags at the becks and callings of riff raffs.
The criminal politicians that destroyed the north, looted the north,
hoisted Boko Haram on the north, raped young girls in the name of child
marriage and sent their impoverished fathers to Mecca for a gratuitous
pilgrimage, have finally taken a big pound of flesh, sacked a most
brilliant, most intellectual, most progressive Emir. They have tested an
experiment and it walked successfully.
Sultan Sa’ad Abubakar should either shut his royal mouth up, and
swallow every piece of shit from these criminal northern politicians or
risk being thrown away. The Shehu Abubakar El-Kanemi should be
sheepishly praising the government as Boko Haram invades Maidugeri, or
be thrown away. It will come to a point where the troublesome leader of
Arewa Youth Consultative Forum, Yerima Shettima will sack the Emir of
Zazzau. It will degenerate to a point where MC Oloumo, leader of Lagos
touts will influence the sack of the Sultan of Sokoto
It is very unfortunate that despite the interventions of Generals
Abdulsalami, Gowom, Adamu Fika, Governor Fayemi among others, Ganduje
still went on to depose Sanusi. Buhari gave a tacit approval to this
heist when three weeks ago he pledged neutrality in the Sanusi-Ganduje
feud. Where is the Father in Buhari.
I chided Igbo leaders when they were fooling away with Jonathan while
infrastructural deficits engulfed the region. Today, Nnamdi Kanu of IPOB
fame has turned them into rags. These people superintended over a 419
Second Niger Bridge and 419 Enugu International Airport and another 419
‘Ebele is our brother’ mantra which kept the Igbo in infrastructural
crisis when other regions are being developed with oil money.
Northern elites have shown that they were even more foolish than their
Igbo counterparts. Soon the Almajiris will do them ‘frog jump’. They
should mark my words.
Sanusi blew the whistle that $20 billion dollars was missing from the
Federation Account in 18 months from NNPC remittance alone. Jonathan and
his team victimized Sanusi until they hounded him out of the CBN while
the international finance world hailed him. Months after Sanusi’s
revelation, Oby Ezekwesili former Vice President, World Bank African
Affairs revealed that billions of dollars has been wasted. She was
abused to high heavens by Jonathan’s men
Months after Ezekwesili’s revelations, Professor Soludo, Sanusi’s
predecessor at the CBN put the figure of stolen funds at $150 billion
dollars within Jonathan era. I had months earlier put up my calculation
of stolen funds during Jonathan era at $142 billion dollars.
Sanusi could have asked for his share of the missing $20 billion dollars
and could be given $2 billion dollars to shut up. Sanusi as Emir of
Kano, criticized in 2016 Buari’s forex policy. Sanusi said that “We
have created our own billionaires since 2015 from foreign exchange
subsidy.”

Sanusi said that “We have created our own billionaires since 2015 from

Sanusi said: “For instance, when the CBN was selling dollar at N197
and people were buying at N300, if I sit down in my garden and pick up
my phone I would have enough people to call in the industry to get 10
million dollars at officials rate and sell at N300 and make a profit of
over N1bn and if I do that four times in a year. For doing nothing I
would have earned N4bn..
“And people were telling us that this policy was to help the poor. We
should not devalue because if we do the poor people would suffer”.
Criticizing Governor Ganduje’s light rail project Sanusi said “We
have governors…”they go to China and spend one month on a tour and
what do they come back with, MoU on debts.
“China will lend you $1.8bn to build light rail. This light rail will
be done by the rail workers from China. The trains will come from China.
The engines will come from China. The labour comes from China. The
driver is Chinese. At the end of the day, what do you benefit from
it.”
Sanusi challenged Kano residents to defend themselves against Boko Haram
and the terrorists plotted to assassinate him, bombed the Kano Central
Mosque, killing over 200 persons inside the place of worship.
Fortunately, their principal target, Emir Sanusi , travelled to London
earlier in the day.
Therefore, it is dumbfounding that the entire northern establishment
sits in silence while a corrupt governor Ganduje destroys the ancient
prestigious Kano Emirate. Ganduje’s tenure will expire in 2023 but
Kano Emirate lives for long.
Sanusi should accept his fate. But let no evil Nigerian ever consign him
to any life in exile in a village in Nasarrawa for speaking out against
evil. Any attempt to try that, we burn down the useless country. Let him
go and rest. Let Sultan Sa’ad wait for his turn of disgrace. Let Shehu
El Kanemi wait for his turn, until Boko Haram , bandits, kidnappers ,
ISWAP and criminals overrun the north
