Muhammadu Sanusi II, emir of
Kano, says the emirate council under him holds no grudge against Abdullahi
Ganduje, governor of the state.
Sanusi made the remarks when
members of the Kano state assembly paid him a courtesy visit at his palace on
Tuesday.
The emir and the governor fell
out shortly after the general election. There were reports that the monarch
opposed Ganduje’s reelection and in turn, the governor assented the bill to
break the emirate into five.
Subsequently, the state
anti-graft commission revived a probe against the governor, indicting him of
N3.4 billion fraud and recommending his suspension.
But prominent Nigerians,
including Aliko Dangote, Africa’s richest man, and Kayode Fayemi, governor of
Ekiti, waded into the dispute.
Earlier on Tuesday, Ganduje said
efforts to end his dispute with Sanusi were ongoing.
Sanusi told the lawmakers that
the council was always ready to work with Ganduje for the development of the
state.
He added that the state
government had entrusted him with the task of improving the industrial profile
of Kano by revitalising the moribund industries in the state.
Sanusi also urged the state
lawmakers to be diligent and committed in fulfilling their responsibilities and
mandates.
“As leaders, you are expected to
be spectacularly honest and have the fear of God in whatever you are doing,” he
said.
“You should all remember that you
will one day die and be made to account for your deeds, while in the saddle of
authority.
“You and I and everybody are not
immune to such investigation by God, who created us to serve humanity as
leaders.
“We will be made to account for
our deeds and we will also be judged by posterity for being at the helm of
affairs and what we did whether it is good or bad, will be the legacy we will
all leave behind.”
