There is tension in Kano state, as Governor Abdullahi Umar
Ganduje issued a two-day ultimatum to Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, to
either confirm his acceptance or rejection of the offer of his appointment as
Kano State Council of Chiefs chairman.
In a statement issued by the permanent secretary of Kano
State special duties ministry Musa Bichi, Ganduje ordered Emir Sanusi to

“Please note that His Excellency the Governor of Kano is
requesting His Highness the Emir of Kano (Sarki Kano) to indicate his
acceptance or otherwise of his appointment as the Chairman of Kano state
Council of Chiefs as conveyed vide letter No. SSG/REPA/S/A/86/T and dated 9th
December 2019,” Bichi said.
“The acceptance or otherwise should reach His Excellency the
Executive Governor of Kano state within two days of the receipt of this
letter.”
Ganduje on Monday, December 9 appointed Emir Sanusi as Kano
State Council of Chiefs chairman. The appointment, however, has been allegedly
disregarded by Emir Sanusi.
It was gathered the Governor Ganduje may suspend Emir Sanusi
if he fails to accept the appointment.
Already, many believed the offer was a trap to further
nailing Emir Sanusi, who might not accept the appointment.
