‘There’s no Emir in Nassarawa’, Sanusi’s son taunts father’s rival

Ashraf, one of the sons of Emir Muhammadu Sanusi II, has tackled Aminu Ado Bayero, the deposed Emir of Kano State.

He was reacting after Sanusi, the reinstated Emir, appeared in public with the royal umbrella, which signifies his authenticity.

Sanusi’s action also came at a time when Bayero returned to the state and confidently sat at the mini-palace in Nasarawa as Emir in the ancient city.

In reaction, Ashraf, in a post via X on Saturday, said: “Nasarawa Emir’s Palace belongs to the Kano Emirate. There’s no emir of nasarawa.”

On Thursday, the young Sanusi noted that the recent decision by the Kano State House of Assembly to abolish the five emirate councils signifies the correction of an injustice.

In a post via Instagram, he expressed gratitude, while seeking divine protection for his father, who was tipped to be reinstated at that time.

The post read: “O Allah, Lord of all dominion! You give dominion to whom You will, and take away dominion from whom You will, and You exalt whom You will, and abase whom You will. In Your Hand is all good. By your hand an injustice has been corrected today Alhamdulillah.

“Ya Allah save the Emir of Kano, HH Muhammad Sanusi II from the evil & whispers of devils, the plots of deceivers and allow him to see through their shallow smiles. Ya Allah increase him in charity and increase him in piety, Ya Allah save him from the love of this world and increase him in the love of the hereafter.”
