, Umar Ganduje may have far-reaching implications for Northern elites and the traditionalists in Kano.
But having secured his freedom through a Federal High Court’s pronouncement, which ordered his immediate release, the embattled emir has indicated that his dethronement was not properly carried out. The development may also have subtle effects on the internal fighting in APC, as it is now obvious that Ganduje, who is sympathetic to the embattled National Chairman of APC, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, will further strain the relationship with El-Rufai, who is among the governors pushing for Oshiomhole’s removal. A party source said the Sanusi saga might further create a gulf among party members loyal to Kaduna and Kano States governors.
But why Lagos and not Kaduna or Abuja? The Guardian learned that Lagos is much safer for the former emir than any northern state. This is aside the fact that Sanusi spent his childhood in Lagos and most of his friends are in Lagos.
