Sanusi Lamido Sanusi's cars:

The former Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, was the second most powerful monarch in the north after the Sultan of Sokoto, even though he had received constant attacks from the Kano state governor, Ganduje.

Kano State Governor Umar Ganduje in March 2020 removed Sanusi Muhammad II as the emir of Kano, months after the relationship between the two went sour.

With a yearly salary of N14 million when he was Emir, he trusts he could afford luxury cars and indeed boast of possessing fleets of cars.

Recently, he acquired the latest Rolls-Royce, which got many Nigerians talking as the car is worth millions of dollars.

Asides from the new model Rolls-Royce, Sanusi also has in his possession a 1952 Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith ALW 11, which is an inherited car passed down from the generation of Emirs of Kano.
