Deposed Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, has said that he has taken
\nhis removal in good faith because it was the will of Allah.<\/p>\n
In a video believed to have been recorded shortly before he was taken
\naway from the palace in Kano on Monday, Sanusi stated that he had no
\nreason to be sad as everything was already destined by God.<\/p>\n
He said, \u201cWith almost six years on this throne and (in charge of) our
\nheritage, today (Monday), the Almighty Allah, who gave me the
\nleadership, has destined to take it back.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs I always say, leadership has predetermined tenure, the days Allah
\ndestined are numbered. When the days come to an end one must leave.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have accepted whatever Allah decides. We have agreed. We appreciate
\n(God). We are happy and we know it is what is best for us.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe enjoin everyone to remain peaceful. We have directed our family, our
\nchildren and those that support us that whoever gets it and is endorsed
\nby the people they should pay allegiance to him.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey should follow him (the new emir). They should guard his honour and
\ndignity because that is also the honour and dignity of this palace.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kano State Executive Council approved the dethronement at a special
\nsitting held on Monday.<\/p>\n
Since coming on the throne, Sanusi, who rose to become Governor of
\nNigeria\u2019s Central Bank as a professional, has always spoken out against
\nharmful traditions and practices in the North, often times drawing the
\nire of elites in the region.<\/p>\n
The executive council headed by Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano
\nclaimed that Sanusi was removed for displaying disregard for laid down
\nrules.<\/p>\n
He has been banished to a town named Loko in Nasarawa State where he is
\nexpected to live quietly with his family.<\/p>\n
