Emir Muhammadu Sanusi: Burden of Loyalty
I have been wondering if Emir Sanusi will continue to sit on his throne and keep quiet as his bosom and extremely loyal friend continues to languish in avoidable jail.
Emir Muhammadu Sanusi's silence in the wake of his friend and former colleague's legal troubles has sparked concern among Nigerians. The individual, Nasir Ganduje, was dethroned and banished by Emir Sanusi, an act that deeply affected the Emir. Ganduje's imprisonment, despite being accused of a bailable offense, has led to questions about the true nature of the ongoing dispute.
Emir Sanusi's silence has been particularly distressing, with the public questioning whether the conflict is still centered on corruption or has become purely political. The Emir himself posed a critical question, asking if the situation is still about corruption or a political issue. Emir Sanusi's lack of immunity, in contrast to Ganduje's, has further fueled the debate.
With Ganduje already deposed once and another puppet Emir in the works, caution is advised against pushing Sanusi to take on additional challenges, as the consequences could be dire. Former Governor Babatunde Fashola aptly advised, "May your loyalty not be tested."
