A Renaissance Coalition of Civil
Society Group in Kano State, has allegedly uncovered moves by the Governor
Ganduje-led administration to swap Emir Sanusi from Kano to Bichi Local
Government.
The group’s spokesperson, Ibrahim
Wayya, said in a statement he signed that, “It has come to the notice of the
Renaissance Coalition that, Kano State Government has gotten a wind of a vile
plan to swap the Emir of Kano Mallam Muhammadu Sanusi II, CON to Bichi, and in
the event he resists, he shall be deposed.
“This is quite unfortunate that,
despite a subsisting court ruling which has ordered the maintenance of status
quo pending conclusion of the matter before it, and even the contentious law
which was maliciously and hurriedly made, and is being challenged before the
court, has not explicitly provided for such swap,” he added.
He said, “This is indeed a very
dangerous move that is likely to cause violent unrest in the polity, and the
alleged plot also shows extreme desperation on the part of the governor to
advance a personal vendetta at the expense of the peace and wellbeing of the
citizens he swore to protect.”
“We deem it our responsibility to
do everything possible within our power to advocate for the peace and wellbeing
of the citizens, by calling on all well meaning individuals and the Federal
Government, to call the governor to order, to seize and desist from any further
hostile action against the Kano emirate and the person of the Emir of Kano
Mallam Muhammadu Sanusi ll.
“We believe in the adage better
safe than sorry, we always want to be on the right path and the right side of
history, expressing our objective opinions and engage relevant authorities for
appropriate and timely action to prevent societal disasters,” he warned.
Ibrahim further noted that ” We
decided not to wait and be reactive but to be proactive because of the
perceived heavy toll the repercussions of the alleged action of the Governor
Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, awaits the people of Kano, if the alleged plot is
materialized and remains unchecked.”
“Therefore, as responsible and
concerned citizens, we strongly call on the governor to desist from going on
with this alleged plot and such similar action, which is capable of
jeopardizing the relative peace we enjoy in the State. We also particularly
call on the security agencies, political leaders, the respected elders,
venerated Ulamas, intellectuals, opinion leaders and any person or people with
the means to reach out to advise the Governor to desist from such act.”
“However, in the event that the
Governor refuses to heed the good counsel and goes ahead to actualize the
evilly hatched dastardly agenda, we would be left with no any other option but
to call on the federal Government to declare a state of emergency in Kano state
as soon as the Governor makes the pronouncement of the alleged plot, in order
to save Kano State from the consequences of the Governor’s action.
” We wish to use this medium to
remind the people and Kano State Government on the consequences that occurred
when similar action was attempted against the then Emir of Kano, Alhaji Ado
Bayero in 1981. We are of the strong belief that, today if such action is
attempted may likely be the worst because of increased social and economic
stress which are already keeping people on edge, ready to erupt as well as a
much higher restless youth population in the State.”
“It is our prayer that, the
Federal Government, must to do everything possible to prevail on the Governor
to forestall the alleged plot of Swapping the Emir of Kano Mallam Muhammad
Sanusi, to ensure that our dear State remains peaceful.”
All efforts to get government
response on the matter were not successful.
