Sanusi issues strong warning to opponents
The emir called on residents to maintain law and order and refrain from actions that could incite unrest or disrupt daily activities.
Sanusi II spoke via a voice message in Hausa aired by a local radio station in the state, Premier Radio.
As reported by Daily Trust on Tuesday, March 25, the emir described those challenging his emirship as going against the will of God.
He maintained that such acts would not yield any positive result.
While urging the people of Kano state to remain patient and prayerful, Sanusi II stressed that the tussle over the emirate was not about him personally but about divine destiny and Allah’s will.
“We are calling on the people to be law-abiding citizens. This tussle is not targeted at me; they are fighting what God has destined to happen. God doesn’t need anyone’s support. I am pleading with you to be patient and prayerful. Surely, God will continue to support those who are fair and just,” he said.
“Fire will consume anyone who is planning to set Kano state on fire. May he never witness peace in his life. May Allah protect our country and our lives. Insha’Allah, whoever is challenging God’s decision will not end well.”

Legit.ng reported previously that Emir Muhammadu Sanusi and deposed Emir Aminu Ado Bayero, are ready for another show down in the ancient city of Kano.
Both emirs have indicated interest in holding the 2025 Sallah durbar during the upcoming Eid-el-Fitr celebrations.
Many residents have expressed fear as they claimed the tension denied the people the liberty to enjoy their cultural festivals.
This was after the Kano state government maintained that the Court of Appeal judgment did not remove Sanusi as the Emir of Kano.
Barrister Haruna Isa Dederi, the state commissioner for Justice and attorney general, said that the appellate court cannot go against its earlier ruling.
Dederi claimed that the ruling implies the status quo should be maintained and that the earlier judgment of the Court of Appeal vindicated the government in Sanusi's reinstatement.

Appeal court stops Emir Sanusi’s reinstatement
Meanwhile, Legit.ng reported that the Kano Emirate leadership is not over yet as the Court of Appeal nullified the judgment reinstating Sanusi II as the Emir of Kano.
The earlier judgement upheld the 2019 Emirate Council Repeal Law by the Kano State government, delivered on January 10.
According to the appellate court, the status quo should be maintained until the Supreme Court delivers its judgment on the appeal before it.
