Meanwhile,  former senator representing Kaduna Central Senatorial District in the National Assembly,  Shehu Sani, while reacting to the dethronement of Sanusi saying, people behind his removal were being intoxicated by power.

Sani said the Northern Elders Forum had waded into the misunderstanding between the deposed Emir and the Kano State Governor but failed to make the two parties reach a truce.

“The removal of Emir Sanusi represents the incompatibility of the crown and conscience, the consequences of dissent against established norms and the heavy price of holding principles in our north. It also revealed the intolerance and toxicity of the liquor of power,” he tweeted.
