Ashraf, one of Emir Muhammadu Sanusi II’s sons, has confronted Aminu Ado Bayero, the deposed Emir of Kano State.
This came after Sanusi, the reinstated Emir, displayed the royal umbrella in public, symbolizing his legitimacy. Sanusi’s action coincided with Bayero’s return to the state and his confident presence at the mini-palace in Nasarawa as the Emir of the ancient city.
In response, Ashraf, in a post on X, stated, “Nasarawa Emir’s Palace belongs to the Kano Emirate. There’s no emir of Nasarawa.” Earlier, the younger Sanusi had commented that the Kano State House of Assembly’s recent decision to abolish the five emirate councils rectified an injustice. He expressed gratitude and sought divine protection for his father in an Instagram post 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.”
