Northern elites have finally woken up on Sunday, December
22nd with a frantic attempt to settle the feud and stop the plot to depose Emir
Sanusi Lamido Sanusi as Emir of Kano. I have written an angry piece on last
week titled ‘Planned Deposition of Emir Sanusi and the Silence of Northern
Fools’ where I posited that it is foolishness of the highest order for northern
elites to be silent as Governor Ganduje destroys the symbol of northern unity
and cohesion.
Information reaching me suggests that the plot to put
together a high powered committee to address the issues came partly from the
harsh tone of that piece which I sent to key northern leaders. A high powered
delegation led by General Abdulsalami, with Gowon actig behind e scene, have
been assembled by the presidency to unite the two fighting elephants of Sanusi
and Ganduje and save the Kano Emirate from public ridicule and mockery.
