Emir Sanusi Debunks 12m Monthly Salary, Shares Payslip

The Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II has debunked claims that he earns 12 million naira monthly.

Recall that Sanusi has been under investigation for allegedly spending N6b of palace funds on luxury cars, chartered flights, phone and internet bills.

The treasurer of the emirate, Mahe Bashir Wali has since denied the allegations saying, “The emirate council has never bought a Rolls Royce for the emir. These cars were given as gifts by his friends after he became emir.”

Similarly, member of the Kano Emirate Council, Mallam Magaji Galadima, displayed the payslip of the Emir while debunking the allegations of corruption against the Emir.

Galadima said “Dear people of God, Pls see the pay-slip of HRH Sarkin Kano, it is N1,246,875.00 net, as against the cheekily reported 12 million Naira monthly by some online publications. It may interest you to know that in colonial times, the Emir of Kano was the highest paid public office holder in Nigeria.”

Meanwhile, daughter of the Emir, Siddika Sanusi-Kurfi, encouraged her father to stand strong in spite of the recent allegations levelled against him.

The statement she posted on her Instagram page read, “You’re in the midsts of a struggle right now but we know you will not give up no matter what. Keep fighting. Keep pressing forward we are with you, this is not your fight alone it is ours all.

“You have the power to emerge victorious, this is just the beginning. Haters are everywhere within the family and outside waiting for your downfall but Allah is above all and is with you so are we. Allah ya kare ka. We look up to you, you are our role model and we definitely want to be like you. #istandwithsls”
