The son of the dethroned emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, Ashraf Sanusi reacted to the abolishment of the five emirates and deposing of the emirs.
He said the decision of the Kano state house of assembly was a correction to the injustice against his father and the desecration made by the previous administration against the age long Islamic rite of the Kano Emirate.
He prayed for his father, Sanusi Lamido, saying God would increase him in charity and increase him in piety
