Sanusi Lamido Sanusi makes another successful outing

Royalty is indeed sweet, the respect, allure, and grand opulence that comes with it soothes the heart but royalty is innate. He might have been dethroned by the Governor of Kano State Dr. Abdulahai Ganduje but the blue blood in his veins still flows with much ado.

Former Emir Sanusi Lamido Sanusi still commands much respect among all sundry. The reason he is being accorded that much respect even when he ceases to be the emir ancient Kano Emirate still raises concern as his influence keeps looming large like a wildfire. To some, his dethronement is politically motivated while some are indifferent but in all, he was a crusader for good governance and also spoke against the ills militating against the attainment of a just society.

One year after his dethronement saga, his popularity has transcended the shores of Nigeria more and Nigerians accorded him more respect like the Emir. Any functions he graces, his entrance is always grande with a display of royal opulence. The royalty in him keeps oozing out at every point. His royal entourage and presence can hardly go unnoticed.

He would forever be revered and respected for his giant strides in uplifting his people,” a source said.
