Emir of Kano, Mallam Muhammad Sanusi
Emir of Kano Muhammadu Sanusi II has accepted his appointment as
Chairman Kano State Emirate Council of chiefs.
A letter addressed to the office of the Secretary to the State
Government (SSG) and signed by the Emir’s Secretary Abba Yusuf confirmed Emir
Sanusi’s acceptance of the appointment and requested further directives from
the Governor on how to proceed.
I Have Received Requests To Remove Emir Sanusi, Says Ganduje
“Kindly inform His Excellency that His Highness, Sarkin Kano, has
not rejected his appointment as Chairman, Kano State Council of Chief. His
Highness accepted the appointment.
“In doing so, His Highness requests for further directives of His
Excellency, the Governor.
“For clarity, these directives may include the appointment of
other members of the council, the appointment of staff of the council,
provision of accommodation for the Council Secretariat and other logistics, to
make the Council operation,” the letter read in part.
Governor Ganduje had earlier given Emir Sanusi a two-day ultimatum
to accept or reject his appointment as Chairman Kano Council of Chiefs.
The directive was contained in a letter dated December 19, and
signed by Musa Bichi, Permanent Secretary for Special Duties, on behalf of the
Secretary to Kano State Government. (Channels TV)
