The Kano State executive council under the chairmanship of Governor Abdullahi Ganduje has unanimously approved the immediate removal and dethronement of the Emir of Kano, Malam Muhammadu Sanusi II over “total disrespect to lawful instructions from the office of the state governor and other lawful authorities.”
This is just as the Kano State executive council said a new Emir of Kano would soon be appointed.
State Secretary to the Government (SSG), Alhaji Usman, revealed the decision of the state executive council to pressmen on Monday.
He said, “the Emir of Kano is in total disrespect to lawful instructions from the office of the state governor and other lawful authorities.”
According to him, “this including his refusal to attend official meetings and programmes organised by the government without any justification which amount to total insubordination.
“It is on record and there are so many instances Malam Muhammadu Sanusi II has been found breaching part 3 section 13 (a-e)of the Kano State Emirate Law 2019 and which if left unchecked will destroy the good and established image of the Kano Emirate.
“This removal is made after due consultation with the relevant stakeholders and in compliance with part 3 section 13 of the Kano State Emirate Law and other reasons stated above.”
The SSG further read that “the removal was reached in order to safeguard the sanctity, culture tradition, religion and prestige of the Kano Emirate built over thousands of years.”
He added that Governor Ganduje has called on the general public to remain calm, law-abiding and to go about their normal businesses while a new Emir of Kano Emirate will soon be appointed.
