He was unable to have endure the ultra-moderate belief system of the northern privileged nor fit in with their unyielding visual impairment, even as their authority deficiencies transformed their area into a no man's land.
Sanusi has been that solitary voice in the wild of northern Nigeria shouting out against the numerous social issues suffocating the locale and hauling we all down with it.
He has criticized the numerous issues of multidimensional neediness, banditry, psychological oppression, early marriage, aggressive behavior at home, youngster deserting, tranquilize misuse, etc.
At the point when his radicalism started to agitate the northern political foundation, his little girl, Shahida, said at an occasion in Abuja in 2017 that despite the fact that the emirate was imperative to her dad,
however on the off chance that the position at any point disrupted the general flow of his still, small voice, he "would cheerfully surrender the honored position."
It is hard to state how "glad" Sanusi could have been on Monday when he was ousted, yet passing by his little girl's affirmation, he should be alleviated to be a liberated individual.
He has been liberated from the fixing chains of moderate customs and its associated conspiratorial power of strict philosophy. He would now be able to seek after his reality as he picks.
The Ganduje-Sanusi scene isn't the principal episode to bring the issues of customary position and governors' administering power to the fore. In Oyo State, we perceived how previous representative Abiola Ajimobi handily made 21 new Obas.
Presently, if a representative utilized his established position to draw up domains and name new Obas to oversee a urban region without plan of action to the natural real factors of the individuals they will as far as anyone knows rule over, do such rulers despite everything find a good pace a "conventional ruler"?
Which, or whose customs, legitimizes the authority of such Obas? In the concise period that those 21 Obas existed before they were swiped away alongside the adjustment in state government, what reason did they serve past going with Ajimobi to open capacities?
Such whimsical methods of Obaship making and resulting deposing has so politicized conventional stools that Obas are under obligation to lawmakers.
Disregard every one of those Yoruba legislators that make a grandiose demonstration of prostrating before a conventional ruler out in the open. In private, those jobs are exchanged.
Customary authority is ancient and it ought to have for some time been canceled from present day life. Be that as it may, as long as they exist, the sacred plan that places customary rulers at the command of governors is ill-advised.
Right now, ought to Ganduje have the option to singularly expel an emir to as far as anyone knows "shield the sacredness, culture, custom, religion and distinction of the Kano emirate"?
By which authority, good and something else, could Ganduje figure out which activities shield the respect of conventional organizations or not?
Let us put aside the crime of Ganduje examining anybody as he did to Sanusi-for debasement for a moment and inquire as to why a representative that possesses a brief position ought to have the option to expel an Oba that is tenured? There should be another degree of oversight to mediate these choices.
