The crisis between Abdullahi
Ganduje, governor of Kano state, and Muhammadu Sanusi ll, emir of Kano, has
been resolved following a reconciliatory meeting between the duo.
This was contained in a statement
by Abba Anwar, the chief press secretary to Ganduje, and made available to NAN
in Kano on Saturday.
Anwar said the reconciliatory
meeting was initiated by Aliko Dangote, Africa’s richest man, and Kayode
Fayemi, governor of Ekiti state.
He said after the meeting, the
duo exchanged pleasantries with each other in Abuja on Friday.
“As the two leaders met, they
congratulated each other for the successful completion of the Ramadan Fast and
the Eid-el-Fitr celebration,” the statement said.
“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.”
According to the statement, the
two agreed that “for healthier relationship between the two institutions of
government and Kano Emirate Council, the dialogues will continue.”
Ganduje had recently split the
emirate into five, stripping Sanusi of the control of 34 local government
areas. The governor is believed to be getting back at Sanusi who reportedly
worked against his reelection.
The office of the secretary to
the state government (SSG) had issued a query to Sanusi on behalf of Ganduje.
The query was on alleged
financial misappropriation of N3.4
billion under Sanusi, between 2014 and 2017, following a recommendation by the
Kano State Public Complaints and Anti-corruption Commission that the emir be suspended.
