Sanusi has been embattled by the Kano state government over allegations of misappropriation of funds meant for Kano Emirate.
Sanusi has had repeated problems with the Kano State Government over his public stance on several issues including governance and culture.
The Emir has condemned corruption and misgovernance among Northern elites, advocated family planning and spoken against polygamy by people who cannot afford to do so.
Sanusi has in the past been probed for corruption by the Kano government and has had his influence reduced after the government created new first-class emirates in the state.
