Kano State Governor, Dr Abdullahi
Umar Ganduje and Emir of Kano, Malam Muhammad Sanusi ll, have not been
reconciled.
Conforming this to our correspondent, a
while ago, the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Alhaji Abba Anwar, said
even though a reconciliation meeting was held in Abuja on Friday, the matter has
not been resolved.
He said, “Certainly, a
reconciliation meeting was organised by Governor Fayemi and Alhaji Aliko
Dangote and the governor and emir attended the meeting, the governor has not
given his stand on the matter.
“What I can confirm to you is
that the dialogue is still on, therefore, we should wait for the response of
the governor.”
He added that the meeting was attended by many
district heads and other traditional rulers.
Anwar had said after the meeting,
that the duo exchanged pleasantries with each other.
“As the two leaders met, they
congratulated each other for the successful completion of the Ramadan Fast and
the Eid-el-Fitr celebration.
“Both leaders spoke and urged all
Muslims to continue with the good teachings and spirit of the Fasting period of
the Month of Ramadan.
“Emir Sanusi seized the
opportunity to congratulate Gov. Ganduje for the victory in his second term in
office. He also wished the governor successful tenure in office.”
He said: “For healthier
relationship between the two institutions of government and Kano Emirate
Council, the dialogues will continue.”
In the meantime, the Kano Emirate
Council has responded to the query issued to the Emir through the office of the
Secretary to the State Government, Alhaji Usman Alhaji.
Media aide to Governor Abdullahi
Ganduje who announced this said the letter containing the reply by the Emir was
received within the stipulated time frame of 48hrs as stated in the query.
Emir Sanusi had contrary to the
claims in the letter that he misappropriated N3.4 billion, the amount he
inherited from the coffers of the Emirate Council was just over N1.8 billion.
The Emir also said the Secretary
of the Council was the accounting officer of the palace and not him.
