The Arewa Youth Consultative Forum, AYCF, has dismissed
claims by Junaid Mohammed, Second Republic lawmaker that Muhammadu Sanusi’s
lineage can never become Emir in Kano again.
AYCF President-General, Yerima Shettima stated that contrary
to Mohammed’s opinion, Sanusi’s children or grandchildren can still emerge as
Emir of Kano.
Shettima explained that Sanusi’s grandfather
was an Emir but failed before he got to the throne.
Recall that the Kano State Government dethroned Sanusi as
Emir of Kano for insubordination.
In an interview , Mohammed had said: “I
don’t believe any line of his family can be emirs again because we have tried
them twice and they have been a woeful disaster. He is out of touch of
realities in Kano and in the North and none of the people want to impose
themselves on the North.”
Reacting, the AYCF President-General insisted that it is
within the right of Sanusi’s family to emerge as Emir of Kano.
When asked to react to Mohammed’s comment, Shettima said: “I
don’t know the yardstick with which he made that assertion and I don’t think
it’s so.
“His grandfather was an Emir before him, his father didn’t
succeed but he succeeded so it’s possible his child or grandchild will become
Emir because it’s within their right.
“It’s politics, we are going to lobby and we have those who
still believe that justice should be done in the North.”
