The Emir of Kano, Mohammadu Sanusi II, has finally deferred to Governor Abdullahi Ganduje’s request to chair the affairs of the state Council of Chiefs.

Recall that on December 9, Mr Ganduje had announced the appointment of Mr Sanusi as the council chairman and directed him to “immediately summon the inaugural meeting of the Council in accordance with the provisions of the Law.”

However, weeks after the appointment, Emir Sanusi allegedly kept the governor in limbo as to whether or not he had accepted the appointment, a development that elicited the governor to issue a 2-day ultimatum to the emir directing him to declare his position on the matter.

In the ultimatum letter, the governor stated that, “the acceptance or otherwise should reached (sic) His Excellency the Executive Governor of Kano State within two days of the receipt of this letter”.

However, barely 24 hours after the issuance of the ultimatum, the emir accepted the appointment as contained in a letter dated December 19 and signed by the acting Secretary, Kano Emirate Council, Abba Yusuf, to the Secretary to the State Government.

In the letter sighted by DAILY NIGERIAN, the emir stated that he did not reject the appointment.

Mr Sanusi, however, requested for further directives from Governor Ganduje regarding the appointment of other members of the council.

According the emir, Mr Ganduje needed to issue another directive on appointment of staff of the council, provision of accommodation for the council secretariat and other logistics to make the council operational.

[s]Good to see he knows his place. Gandolla would just keep the heat on him dethroning him and restarting corruption investigation.

Why should the next governor restore the Emirate to original structure? How does it serve their interests? ][/s]

The usual illogical, irrational and emotional reaction from wailers. You think you know better than Sanusi and his advisers?

He took the right and pragmatic decision. What is the point continuing a fight one cannot win? In life, you win some and lose some. Nobody wins all the time.

Ganduje will be out of office in less than four years and another person will take over. If he’s dethroned by Ganduje, it will be impossible for a more sympathetic governor to restore him. A good example is Emir Jokolo who even went to court and won but till today, he has not been restored back. He who runs away from fight live to fight another.

Emir Sanusi is too cerebral(as an Oxford) a trained graduate to fight with a riff raff of Gandollar status.It does not work in any sane clime.No wonder Osinbajo(sound SAN legal icon) is deputizing for an illiterate man because of political crumbs.
