Muhammadu Sanusi II, emir of
Kano, has replied a query issued to him by the administration of Abdullahi
Ganduje, governor of the state, over an alleged misappropriation of
N3.4billion.
The development comes less than a
day after Aliko Dangote, Africa’s richest man, and Kayode Fayemi, governor of
Ekiti state, initiated a reconciliatory meeting to broker peace between the
governor and emir.
In a letter seen by Nigerianeye, the
emir was exonerated from the misappropriation.
The reply of the query was signed
by Abba Yusuf, acting secretary of Kano Emirate Council.
Below is the content of the
letter which was obtained by Nigerianeye:
I am directed to refer to your
letter No. SSG/OFF/03/V.I, dated June 6th, 2019 to which was attached a copy of
the report of the Kano State Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Chairman
containing some allegations of financial misappropriation of the sum of N3.4
billion by the Kano Emirate Council.
You may wish to note that at the
time His Highness was appointed Sarkin Kano, the exact amount in the account of
the Kano Emirate Council was N1,893,378,923.38 (One Billion Eight Hundred and
Ninety Three Million, Three Hundred and Seventy Eight Thousand, Nine Hundred
and Twenty Seven Naira, Thirty Eight Kobo Only).
It is also important to note that
His Highness, Sarkin Kano is not the Accounting Officer of the Kano Emirate
Council, but the Secretary of the Council. We thank you for giving us the
opportunity to respond to the various allegations contained in the report and
accordingly give our responses as per the attached. Please accept our best
regards.
