The Director-General, Media and Communications, Kano State Government, Salihu Yakasai, yesterday said that the deposed Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, won’t have access to visitors.
Yakasai who is populalrly known on Twitter as “Dawisu” said this while making clarification on the removal of Sanusi on Monday.
The Kano State Executive Council had on Monday approved the immediate removal of the Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi II.
The Secretary to the State Government, Alhaji Usman Alhaji, announced the unanimous decision of the council at a news conference on Monday in Kano.
He said the removal of the monarch followed alleged disrespect to lawful instructions by the state governor.
After Sanusi’s removal, there were speculations that he could emerge as the presidential or governorship candidate of a political party in the 2023 general election.
But Yakasai via his Twitter handle, @dawisu, said Sanusi would be kept in exile and would not have his freedom as expected.
“Clearly, some people are ignorant of how dethronement works. When an Emir is dethroned, he is sent to exile in a remote location and will basically be under house arrest and won’t have access to visitors. A person under these circumstances will be after his freedom and not the next election,” he tweeted.
