The Kano State Government, has
denied plans to depose the Emir of Kano, Muhammad Sanusi II. Recall that the
state governor, Abdullahi Ganduje and the monarch have been at loggerheads
after the latter worked against the former's re-election this year.
A Kano-based group, Renaissance
Coalition, had in a statement released by its spokesman, Ibrahim A. Waiya,
alleged that the state governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, has concluded plans to
transfer the Emir of Kano, Muhammad Sanusi II to Bichi Emirate and then when he
rejects the move, he will be dethroned. The group in the statement, cautioned
the state governor from carrying out such a plan as it would only disturb the
peace and stability being enjoyed the state if executed.
"It has come to the notice
of the Renaissance Coalition that the Kano State government has a plan to send
the Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II to Bichi; and in the event he resists, he
will be deposed.
"However, in the event that
the governor refuses to heed the good counsel and goes ahead to actualize the
dastardly agenda, we will be left with no other option than to call on the
federal government to declare a state of emergency in Kano State.
“It is quite unfortunate that
such a plot is being hatched despite a subsisting court ruling which has ordered
that status quo should be maintained pending the conclusion of the matter
before it. This is indeed a very dangerous move and it is likely to cause
unrest within the polity. The alleged plot also shows efforts 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'' the group said
In a swift reaction, the Chief
Press Secretary to the state governor, Abba Anwa, denied the allegation. He
described the allegation as false and baseless. He stressed that the state
governor was not planning to depose the Emir.
