The Kano State Government, may have concluded plans to place the Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, on suspension, in order to give way for “proper investigation” of the Emirate Council’s finances.
The idea of the suspension, was reportedly promoted by Politicians and Elders from within and outside the State, who are close to the State Governor, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje.
It was gathered that some prominent Northern leaders were putting pressure on Ganduje, to depose the Monarch, following the latter’s recent outburst.
Recall, that Sanusi recently cried out, that some Northern elites do not like him, and that they were after him, over his critical comments against the North.
Sanusi, was installed by Ganduje’s predecessor, Rabiu Kwankwaso, who are both not in good terms at the moment.
A source close to some Kano heavyweights, disclosed on Tuesday morning, that: “Ganduje may be favourably disposed to the suspension idea, because Kwankwaso was the one who helped Sanusi become Emir.
“You will recall, that the ruling PDP was then rooting for Bayero, and even rushed to issue a statement congratulating him, before announcement.
“So, it was Kwankwaso who rallied round, and used his power as Governor, to crush Kano and Abuja forces.
“Now that Kwankwaso who installed Sanusi and Ganduje are sworn enemies, the Governor may decide to spite the Senator, by showing he is in charge.
“Let me add, that this probe issue would never have come up in the first place, if Kwankwaso and Ganduje were still best of friends.”
Already, the Kano State Public Complaint and Anti-Corruption Agency, KSPCACA, is set to investigate the Muhammadu Sanusi-led Emirate Council, over an alleged misappropriation of billions of naira, supposedly left behind by his predecessor, the late Alhaji Ado Bayero.
