A tweet that accompanied the video reads: “I remember when SLS was appointed as Emir, there were protests all over Kano for 3days, but today, this is the crowd celebrating his dethronement and subsequent appointment of the new Emir of Kano Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero. Don’t let twitter rants fool you. #AikiTill2023.”

Naija News reports that the Kano State government led by Governor Ganduje on Monday, March 9, dethroned Emir Sanusi.

This online news platform understands that Emir Sanusi’s dethronement followed the State Council executive meeting presided over by the Governor Ganduje.

However, a statement by Alhaji Usman Alhaji, the Secretary to the State Government, said Emir Sanusi’s dethronement was due to his “total disrespect to lawful instructions from the office of the governor and other lawful authorities”
