Kano Emirate: ‘Go, answer your query’ – Tanko Yakasai tells Emir Sanusi
Elder statesman and
Second Republic politician, Alhaji Tanko Yakassai, has charged Emir Muhammadu
Sanusi II, to be bold and answer the query issued him by investigators of the
alleged financial mismanagement of Kano Emirate Council.
Reacting
to the reported query that was issued to the Emir of Kano, the elder
statesman maintained that a query should not be a cause of worry or surprise as
it is a normal process of establishing the truth in any matter.
Yakasai, however,
urged the investigators to be objective and impartial in the discharge of their
responsibilities.
He urged the emir
to go through the content of the allegations against him and provide answers to
the issues raised.
According to him,
“if someone raises a complaint against one, the correct thing to do is to give
the respondent a chance to answer and defend himself.
“Emir Sanusi’s
refusal to submit himself to their investigation would certainly not be helpful
in this case as silence both in the Common Law and in Islam is deemed as
consent,” he told Sun Newspaper.
He recalled that
part of the submissions of the Kano State Public Complaint and Anti-Corruption
Commission in its interim report was that the emir was not cooperating with
their investigation.
Meanwhile, the
elder statesman dismissed the suggestions that the Emir of Kano should resign
at this stage.
“Resignation would
surely not solve the problem as the accusations leveled against him would still
be there even if he is no longer there as the Emir of Kano,” he said.
