He spoke after the judgement of the appeal court which okayed Sanusi’s reinstatement as the Emir of Kano.

Senator Shehu Sani wrote:

“His Highness Aminu Bayero and His Highness Sanusi should withdraw their case in court.Both should select football players from Kano for their teams and play a match in the Sani Abacha Stadium.

“The two contending Emirs should be captains of their Team.I can volunteer as a referee since I have some maternal and paternal relations in Bebeji and Bichi (Danzabuwa). Whoever emerges as the winner between Team Aminu Fc or Team Sanusi Fc automatically becomes the Emir. Nagode.”
