But the question is: does Jonathan have such powers in a democratic government?
The few indigenes of Kano, who are angry by Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso’s decision to pick Sanusi among the three men presented to him by the King Makers, are said to be jubilating the news spreading across the state that Jonathan had finalized plans to remove Emir Sanusi and detain him...

The immediate past Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria and now Emir
of Kano, Sanusi Lamiso Sanusi is a political foe of President Jonathan.
The two men disagreed over whether billions of dollars in oil money had
been stolen by people working for Jonathan in Abuja. Jonathan suspended
Sanusi from the CBN after the nation’s banker accused officials of the
NNPC and the Ministry of Petroleum of failing to deposit oil revenues
worth more than $20 billion in the Central Bank as required by the law
of Nigeria.
A source close to Gov Kwankwaso told Sahara Reporters that the Presidency is being those orchestrating the fake news about the removal of Emir Sanusi from the throne.
“This whole rumor was calculated to cause a new set of rioting in Kano,”
said the source. He said Jonathan and his cronies had designed a plot
to create destabilization in Kano in order to give a pretext to declare a
state of emergency in Kano in the high populated state under the
control of APC.
You may wish to know that President Jonathan is yet to congratulate Sanusi as the Emir of Kano.
