Abdullahi Ganduje, governor of
Kano, has given Muhammad Sanusi II, Emir of Kano, two days to accept or reject
his appointment as head of the state’s council of chiefs.
The directive was contained in a
letter dated December 19, and signed by Musa Bichi, permanent secretary,
special duties, on behalf of the secretary to the state government.
On December 9, Ganduje appointed
Sanusi as the head of the council of chiefs, following his assent to a law that
created other emirates, whittling the emir of Kano’s powers.
He had also asked Sanusi to
immediately summon the inaugural meeting of the council in accordance with the
provisions of the law.
However, Sanusi is yet to accept
or reject the appointment more than a week after, according to the letter
signed by Bichi.
In the letter, Ganduje said it is important for the emir to “accept the appointment or
otherwise”.
It read: “By this letter, His
Excellency the Executive Governor is requesting His Highness, the Emir of Kano
(Sarkin Kano) to indicate his acceptance of otherwise of his appointment as the
chairman of Kano State Council of Chiefs as conveyed vide letter no
SSG/REPA/S/A/86/T and dated 9th of December. 2019.
“The acceptance of otherwise
should reach His Excellency the Executive Governor of Kano State within two
days of the receipt of this letter.
“As you await further directive
of His Excellency, the Executive Governor on the matter, it is important to
accept the appointment or otherwise.
“Accept the assurance of the
Highest esteem and regards of His Excellency, the Executive Governor of Kano
State.”
The directive is the latest in
the series of drama on reported moves to dethrone Sanusi as emir of Kano.
Although the governor previously
denied there was such a plan, he said on Thursday that he has been asked to
dethrone the emir.
