EMIR MOHAMMED SANUSI 11 ‘ S REINSTATEMENT:BREAKING A JINX THAT WOULD HAVE BECO
The removal of Emir Muhammadu Sanusi II from his position as the Emir of Kano by Governor Ganduje’s government sent shockwaves through Nigeria and beyond.
This event, which occurred in recent times, drew parallels with history as it echoed the dethronement of Emir Muhammadu Sanusi I 57 years ago by the then northern Nigeria regional government led by Ahmadu Bello.
The struggle for the Sanusi family to break free from this cycle of dethronement and reinstatement has become a poignant narrative that symbolizes the clash between tradition, power, and the quest for redemption.
The history of the Sanusi Emirs of Kano is deeply intertwined with the political landscape of northern Nigeria. Emir Muhammadu Sanusi I, the grandfather of Emir Sanusi 11, was dethroned as the 11th Emir of Kano in 1963 by Ahmadu Bello’s government.
This event marked a significant turning point in the history of the Sanusi dynasty and left a lasting impact on the family.
Fast-forward to the present day, and we witness a similar event unfolding with the removal of Emir Muhammadu Sanusi II. The parallels between these two incidents highlight a recurring cycle that the Sanusi family is determined to break.
The removal of Emir Muhammadu Sanusi II by Governor Ganduje’s government was met with mixed reactions from the public. While some supported the decision citing reasons of insubordination and political interference, others viewed it as an attack on traditional institutions and a violation of the Emir’s rights.
The contentious relationship between Governor Ganduje and Emir Sanusi added fuel to the fire, leading to a dramatic climax with the Emir’s removal from office, but it widely condemned across the globe.

By fighting for his reinstatement, Emir Sanusi II is not only seeking redemption for himself but also for his predecessors who faced similar challenges in the past.
From history, it was the outspoken nature of the first Sanusi that caused his removal, same history was repeated in Emir Sanusi 11.
The dream of reinstating Emir Muhammadu Sanusi II has been a long-standing aspiration for the once dethroned king. The desire to reclaim his position as the Emir of Kano symbolizes a quest for justice, legitimacy, and the restoration of honour to the Sanusi family.
