Sanusi’s Deposition: Matters Arising By Tony Ademiluyi | Sahara Reporters Will Sanusi spring a come back as his supporters now portray him as a victim of government persecution? Will he go down the way of his grandfather who died in exile? READ MORE:
In 1947 when the British Raj left India after being there for well over three centuries, the newly created independent state of India opted to do away with the traditional institutions that had been part and parcel of the country. The government of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru decided to abolish these institutions as the politicians were able to sway public opinion against these royals as collaborators with the erstwhile imperialists, who had milked the nation dry.
The second deposition was that done by the then Premier of the Northern Region, Alhaji Sir Ahmadu Bello who deposed his distant cousin and Grandfather of the former Emir Sanusi, Mohammed Sanusi 1 KBE in 1963 when they had a public spat. The urbane Emir was deposed to Azare in the present day Bauchi state where he joined his ancestors two decades later.
Sanusi continued his controversy when he took on the then Goodluck Jonathan Presidency when he alleged that about $20 billion was missing from the account of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation . The GEJ government didn’t take it lightly with him and he was subsequently suspended from his plum job. He took the matter to court and it dragged on until the sudden death of the long serving Emir Ado Bayero who passed on after fifty-one years on the throne in 2014.
The Ganduje led government leveled allegations of financial impropriety against him. He was found ‘guilty’ of embezzling billions of naira meant for the development of the emirate councils. His emirate was then balkanized into five with his powers being whittled down considerably.
