The learner said the easiest way to reinstate Sanusi as Emir of Kano if the Kano state government can pin something wrong on the current emir
“Sanusi's closeness to the Abba Yusuf administration has never been a secret. The only thing I feel stopping him are the political implications. No government wants to be the one to tamper with the Emirship especially when the current emir has not done anything wrong. If they can tie the current emir to something, it would be a much easier sell.
“They can force him in but it might not go down well with the people. It would only be easier if they can pin something on the current emir.”
Umar also spoke about former Kano state governor, Abdullahi Ganduje can revive his political career in the state after the Supreme Court reversed the sack of Governor Yusuf.
He said Ganduje has hope of reviving and winning over the state because the All Progressives Congress (APC) has structures in the state.
The lawyer said the APC national chairman will need to poach some notable politicians from the New Nigeria People's Party (NNPP) alongside the support of key players in his party to start a chance of winning back the state.
“The APC is not the most loved party in Kano right now but the good thing for it is that at least it has a structure in the state
“He would have to rally key players in the party and hopefully poach some important political figures in the NNPP like Kwankwaso did when he wanted to fight the APC”
