NOT THE BEST OF TIMES FOR THE EMIR OF KANO, SANUSI LAMIDO SANUSI

HRM, MUHAMMED SANUSI II, EMIR OF KANO

The Kano State House of Assembly has raised up a panel to investigate some fresh allegations against the highly revered Emir of Kano, Alhaji Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, Muhammad Sanusi II. There are fears raised already, that if care is not taken and the situation handled very well, it might lead to the king being desposed!!!

The Emir is known for his frankness and outspokenness and those gifts of character, might have become his albatross right now. The revered monarch is said to have lied against the Governor of his state and some other officials of Government accusing them of financial recklessness and mismanagement and wasteful spending of scarce resources. These accusations are said to have been a deliberate attempt by Alhaji Sanusi to misinform and tarnish the image of the Governor of Kano, his excellency, Alhaji Abdullahi Umar Ganduje and some others.

So an 8 man committee has been mandated to investigate the allegations and make their reports and recommendations in 14 days.

Let's all just hope it doesn't lead to the deposition of the very colourful and highly cerebral king, whose only weakness is his inability to stop himself from talking. We can bet that many of his powerful friends have already gone around to calm frayed nerves and find a way to give him some sort of soft landing.
