Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, sacked the Village Head
of Ganduje in Dawakin Tofa local government area of the state.

The Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammad Sanusi II, has removed
the Village Head of Ganduje in Dawakin Tofa local government
area of the state.

NAN reports that the ousted Village Head, Alhaji Sani Ganduje,
is the younger brother to the state’s governor, Abdullahi
Ganduje.

The monarch announced the removal of Ganduje, on Monday,
January 1, at a special palace sitting in Kano.

According to him, the decision became pertinent following
reports of ‘gross negligence of duty’ which the emirate council
found worrisome.


“The action was taken because it is an offence for one to
smear the good image of the traditional institution.


“The Village Head was stripped of his turban as his offence
bordered on gross official misconduct which the palace was all
out to jettison for the sake of safeguarding the credibility of the
revered institution,’’ he said.

The Emir reiterated the need for all traditional rulers in the
state to demonstrate a high sense of responsibility in all their
activities.

The Emir, who was the former Governor of the Central Bank of
Nigeria (CBN) also pleaded with all traditional rulers in the
Emirate to be disciplined and avoid dealings capable of
damaging the image of the institution.

Meanwhile, Paul Arkwright, the UK ambassador to Nigeria and
other delegates recently paid a 2-day visit to Kano state, where
they visited the Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi II.


The Emir of Kano recently visited Kaduna state and met with
the governors of Borno, Bauchi, Yobe, Kano and the Sultan of
Sokoto when Bill Gates, and Aliko Dangote were in Kaduna
state to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on
routine immunization with the governors of six states.
