“No one can take away what God has given” – Emir Sanusi reacts after his reinstatement

Sanusi was reinstated four years after his deposition by former governor of the state, Ganduje.

Newly reinstated Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, has given all thanks to God stating that his return to the exalted throne is a testament that God’s will cannot be changed.

The former Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) governor said this after receiving his letter of reinstatement at the African House, Kano Government House, on Friday, May 24, 2024.

This comes four years after he was removed from the throne by the former governor of the state, Abdullahi Ganduje, who balkanised the Kano Emirates into five districts.

After this was done, he subsequently crowned Amina Ado Bayero as the Emir of the state.

Speaking on Friday, the returning Emir said his fate in the last four years was preordained by God himself.

“The Arabians used to say in everything that we are going to witness, there is a lesson that shows us that God is there. Whatever that is happening to an individual is preordained by Allah and to those that are sensible enough, it’s a lesson.

“God is one and whatever He does, nobody can change and what He doesn’t do, nobody can.

“About 10 years ago, in this same place former Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso gave me my appointment letter as the Emir of Kano. Today, after 10 years I am here again receiving reappointment letter by Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf.

“Time will not permit for long talks. Whatever we will say, we have said it when we were leaving. We made it clear that God has preordained time and cause for everything and everyone. He gave leadership to whom he wants and at the time he wants. When He gives, no one can take it away and when he takes it away, nobody can take it back,” he said.
