Alhaji Abubakar
Ahmed Sabo, the traditional ruler of Loko, Nasarawa state, where Emir of Kano,
Alhaji Muhammad Sanusi II stayed a night before moving to Awe, has disclosed
details of his meeting with the deposed Emir.
The Loko monarch
said that Sanusi is not disturbed by the dethronement and has made contacts and
congratulated the new Emir of Kano, Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero on his ascension of
the throne.
Speaking on the
Hausa service of BBC on Wednesday, he said the monarch would not challenge his
dethronement in court even as he advised traditional rulers to be careful in
their relationships with politicians.
“Sanusi was not
disturbed at all when he got here, in fact he slept very well and accepted the
dethronement as his destiny. He even said that he will not challenge his
dethronement in court. He told the people to support the new Emir, Alhaji Aminu
Ado Bayero. In fact, he sent a text message congratulating the new Emir.
“Emir Sanusi does
not have any regrets because he said he did not commit any offence.”
Giving reasons why
Sanusi was relocated from Loko to Awe after one night in the village, Sabo said
the deposed Emir is too big to stay in a place like Loko, which lacks social
amenities.
“Emir (Sanusi) is too
big for this place. He is a high ranking personality and supposed to be under
the air conditioner, but we don’t have electricity to give him that.
“We received him
very well, but with mixed feelings. We were sad because of what happened to
him, because when your fellow human being is in this kind of situation, you are
expected to be with him in that situation with him, but we were happy that our
village came to limelight; of all the cities in Nigeria, it was Loko that was
chosen for him to come to,” he added.
