-In Anticipation Of Succeeding Incumbent Emir
It is not a common thing in Africa that while a king is still healthy and on the throne, a crown Prince would wish him dead so that he can take over his throne. The immediate past Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria never hid his ambition to be the next Emir of Kano succeeding the incumbent Emir, Ado Bayero. According to reports, his father, Emir Sanusi was dethroned from the post several years ago before the incumbent came to the throne.
His ambition, however, seems to have beclouded his sense of reasoning as he has continued to prepare to succeed the incumbent emir even to the discomfiture and embarrassment of the crown princes as well as the kingmakers and other stakeholders in the Kano Emirate council. Curiously, the incumbent king has his own sons who are also in line for crowning as the next Emir if and when Emir, Ado Bayero joins his ancestors. These princes are said to have become increasingly embarrassed as the former CBN governor aspire for a throne that is not yet vacant.
The ELITES reliably gathered that a palatial mansion believed to have cost not less than N5billion has been constructed by a prominent Northern Billionaire for Sanusi Lamido Sanusi so that when he becomes the Emir, he would have a befitting palace. The said palace has been subject of controversy as many people who saw the magnificent mansion wondered why the billionaire who is into aviation oil and construction does not live in the property and has never stayed there since it was constructed. It was then that tongues started wagging over the real ownership and it was at that point that fingers were pointed at the former CBN boss who has some business affiliations with the Katsina born billionaire.
