Kano Emirate: Fani-Kayode reacts to Ganduje’s plan to depose Emir
Sanusi
A former Minister
of Aviation and chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Chief Femi
Fani-Kayode, has reacted to reports claiming that the Kano State Governor,
Abdullahi was planning to depose the Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi ll.
The Ganduje-led
administration queried Sanusi for allegedly misappropriating the Emirate
Council’s N3.4 billion.
Our Correspondent
reliably gathered that the Emir was queried after the submission of a report by
the State office of the anti-corruption and Public Complaint Commission who
investigated him on the alleged squandering of the Emirate Council’s funds.
The report which
was submitted to the Government late Tuesday is said to have recommended for
the immediate suspension of the Emir.
The government has
consequently handed down a query to the Emir through the Office of the
Secretary to the Government, Usman Alhaji late Tuesday.
We reported
that the government is planning on the complete deposition of the Emir when a
final report of its forthcoming panel of inquiry comes out indicting Sanusi.
However,
Fani-Kayode said that what Gov. Ganduje was doing to Sanusi was unacceptable.
In a tweet on
Thursday, Fani-Kayode wrote: “I’m not the greatest fan of the Emir of Kano but
I believe in justice for all regardless of my personal views about the victim
of persecution and oppression or my prejudices. What Gov. Ganduje is doing to
the Emir is unacceptable. It is petty, vindictive and politically-motivated.”
