Khadija Yusra Sanusi, daughter of the former emir of Kano,
has pleaded with her followers to stop sending condolences — in the wake of her
father’s dethroning.
Muhammadu Sanusi II, a sitting
emir of Kano, was deposed by Abdullahi Ganduje, the state governor, for
“disrespecting lawful instructions.”
Taking to her Twitter page, Yusra called on her followers to
stop sending condolence messages as regards the development.
The dethroned emir’s daughter also claimed that she has been
the one consoling her friends. She teased that she might end up charging for
the therapy sessions she’s offering.
“Can you people
please stop sending me ‘Innallillahi wa Inna ilayhir raji’un’ and ‘my
condolences’? We did not die,” Yusra wrote in a flurry of tweets — which were
deleted shortly after.
“Explain to me how I’ve been the one consoling my friends.
I’m like ‘I’m sorry’. Allah ne yaso. Insha Allah hakan yaafi alheri. Just
expect an invoice because I’m charging for these therapy sessions.”
‘Innallillahi wa Inna ilayhir raji’un’ is a Quran verse typically used when consoling a deceased person’s family. It roughly translates
“from God we came, from God we shall return.”
Shortly before news of Sanusi’s dethroning broke out, Yusra
had quoted her father as saying that he can be suspended as the emir but the
truth can’t be concealed.

“‘You can suspend me, but you can’t suspend the truth.’ The
man that raised me has never been afraid of letting go of power for the sake of
integrity,” she wrote.
The dethroned monarch served as the governor of the Central
Bank of Nigeria from 2009 to 2014, when he was suspended by ex-President
Goodluck Jonathan under controversial circumstances.

Please Incase of next time, Innalilahi.wa inna ilaihi rajiun is actually Arabic from the Quran meaning to Allah we belong and to him is our return and not a hausa proverb.thanks
ReplyDeleteThere was never a time that I didn't like the ex-emir, Sanusi 11, especially for his true outspoken. The plans of the enemies can't stand the taste of time. The end result is always in vain. Only the truth shall prevail.
