Sanusi has received his own reward for lying against Jonathan in 2015, says Omokri

Former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan on social media, Mr Reno Omokri, has also reacted to the dethronement of the Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi Lamido Sanusi ll by the state government.

Recall that the Kano State Government on Monday dethroned Emir Sanusi and enthroned Aminu Ado Bayero as his replacement.


The state government said Sanusi was dethroned because he refused to attend official meetings and also violate the Kano Emirate Law.

This was made known in a press statement signed by Secretary to the State Government, Usman Alhaji.

The statement read, “The Kano State Executive Council under the Chairmanship of his Excellency, the Governor of Kano State, Dr Abdullahi Ganduje, has unanimously approved the immediate removal /dethronement of the Emir of Kano Emirate Muhammad Sanusi II.




“The Emir of Kano is in total disrespect to lawful instructions from the office of the state Governor and other lawful authorities, including his persistent refusal to attend official meetings and programmes organised by the Government without any lawful justification which amounts to total insubordination.

“It is on record and in so many instances Malam Muhammad Sanusi II has been found breaching part 3 Section 13 (a - e) of the Kano State Emirate Law 2019 and which if left unchecked will destroy the good and established image of Kano Emirate.

“This removal is made after due consultation with the relevant stakeholders and in compliance with Part 3 Section 13 of the Kano State Emirate Law 2019 and other reasons stated above.


“The removal was reached in order to safeguard the sanctity, culture, tradition, religion, and prestige of the Kano Emirate built over a thousand years.”

But reacting on his official twitter handle, Omokri described Sanusi's travails as a reward well deserved for lying against Goodluck Jonathan in 2015.

Last year, I said everyone who falsely accused @GEJonathan, would pay for it. Sanusi Lamido Sanusi is a liar and a manipulative individual, who deliberately lied against GEJ to facilitate the election of General @MBuhari. He has his Buhari. Is he happy?https://t.co/0dJ1j4OO3c
