Why Sanusi’s Removal As Emir Is Good- Obasanjo

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has described the dethronement of Sanusi Lamido as the emir of Kano as a good and sad news.

Odunews.com reports that the Kano state Government accused Sanusi of disrepecting the office of the Governor and other agencies in the state.

Reacting to the removal, Obasanjo stated that Sanusi’s removal is both good and sad. He said it is good because the former Emir paid the price.

He however knocked the Kano state Government for its action saying the removal is as well undeserved.

The ex-President made this known through a letter sent to the former Emir.

The letter reads: “I woke up this morning and after my morning exercise, devotion and my morning meeting with my staff, I heard the sad and the good news of your removal by the Executive Council of the Kano State Government.

“It is sad because it was undeserved. It is good because you have paid the price. My prayer is that God should give you the fortitude and courage to continue on the path that you have chosen for yourself in the best interest of our country and humanity.

“Please, accept, Your Royal Highness, the assurance of my highest consideration.”
