The former lawmaker representing Kaduna Central in the Senate and President of the Civil Rights Congress of Nigeria (CRCN), Shehu Sani, has reacted to the dethronement of Muhammad Sanusi II as the Emir of Kano today.
Reacting to the removal of the Emir from office, Senator Sani noted on Twitter that the action revealed the “intolerance and toxicity of the liquor of power.”
“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.
He also accused the Northern elders’ peacekeeping team of failing in their attempt to reconcile the warring parties.
“The Northern Elders Peacekeeping force led by General Abdulsalam sent to enforce a ceasefire and restore peace in the Civil war between the forces of the Emir and that of the Governor failed in their mission; And they quietly withdrew unannounced, leaving behind an escalation,” he wrote.
It will be recalled the Senator had earlier appealed to Governor Ganduje to forgive the Emir and allow peace reign in the ancient city of Kano.
