Governor Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa State has disclosed that
he was informed of Ganduje plans to banish dethroned Emir Sanusi to his state
Sule disclosed that Ganduje sought his approval for Sanusi
to be banished to Nasarawa State.
Recall that the Ganduje-led Kano State Government dethroned
and banished Sanusi to Awe area of Nasarawa State.
But a Federal High Court in Abuja last week Friday ordered
the former Emirs release after he was visited by the Kaduna State Governor,
Nasir El-Rufai.
However, Governor Abdullahi Sule while addressing
journalists in Lagos State yesterday explained that Sanusi was banished to
Nasarawa State because the state was a border state between the North and
Southern part of the country.
Sule said: “Immediately he was dethroned, the governor of
Kano called me and said, we have just dethroned the Emir and we are thinking
about relocating him to Nasarawa; If you will accept him. I said I will be more
than happy to accept him.
“The message was all over the social media that Emir Sanusi
II was dethroned.”
“I did not check because I was busy, but when the Kano
Governor called, my aid brought the phone to me in a meeting. So as a senior
governor and a second-term governor, and someone I respect, I stepped aside to
answer his call.”
“The whole world knows they were having problems, but I did
not know it will lead to this. When he told me the emir has been dethroned, I
never said a word about it; whether it is good or bad or why. How can I say I will
not accept Sanusi Lamido II, never.
“This is a global citizen, highly respected person. When I
was the Managing Director of Dangote group, he was the Group Managing Director
of First Bank.
“We operated as colleagues at the corporate level. When I became
the Deputy Group Managing Director of Dangote, he was the CBN Governor. By the
time I became the Group Managing Director of Dangote, he had become an Emir. So
at all levels, we have cooperated.”
