After Agreeing To Chair Emirs’ Council: Knsg Sets New Traps For Sanusi

Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi II Despite accepting to be the chairman of the Kano State Council of Chiefs, the Emir of Kano, Malam Muhammad Sanusi ll may run into another round of troubles with Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, Daily Trust Saturday can report.

A source close to the state government confided in Daily Trust Saturday last night that whichever way the emir replied to the 48-hour ultimatum given to him, the fight would still go on.

According to the source, although the emir had accepted to be the chairman of the state’s Council of Chiefs, government would capitalise on the conditions the emir gave in his reply to nail him.

A new directive of the Kano State Government will require Emir Sanusi to seek approval for official matters from the chairman of Kano Municipal Local Government instead of the age-long practice of channeling such requests directly to the governor. Sanusi will also have to accommodate the offices of the four other first class emirs of Gaya, Rano, Karaye and Bichi at the Gidan Makama complex situated in his domain.

Daily Trust Saturday exclusively gathered yesterday that the state government came up with the plans to change the channel of communication between the state government and the Emirate Council and to also create offices for the four other emirs in the heart of Sanusi’s territory, after receiving the emir’s acceptance letter to head the state’s newly established Emirs’ Council.

The state government, through a letter dated December 19, demanded Sanusi to indicate his ”acceptance or otherwise” of his appointment as chairman of the council to reach Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje within two days of the receipt of the letter.

In his response, also dated December 19, the emir communicated his acceptance to the state governor Although traditional rulers are constitutionally recognised as answerable to local government chairmen of their domains, the practice over the years, especially in Kano, has been for the emir to relate directly with the state government.

“The emir talked about provision of secretariat and announcement of other members of the council. Let me tell you, government will provide the secretariat and then provide an office for each of the four newly appointed emirs,” the source said. “Again, government will also make it clear that any time the emir wants to travel, he should take permission from the chairman of his local government, that is Kano Municipal. “Any attempt by the emir to disobey these and other conditions, he will be accused of disobedience and that alone can lead to his dethronement,” said the added.

The source further said the emir was issued two letters requesting him to either accept or reject appointment. The source recalled that the first letter sent to the emir was on December 9, 2019 and he responded on December 12. In the emir’s first reply, a copy obtained by Daily Trust Saturday, Sanusi did not clarify whether he accepted the appointment or not, a situation that resulted in a second letter, in which he was given 48 hours to respond. In his first reply, Emir Sanusi, in the letter signed by the acting secretary of the Kano Emirate Council, Alhaji Abba Yusuf, dated December 12, 2019, indicated that the emir was away from Kano for an official assignment, hence could not respond to the letter sent to him by the Kano State Government.

“His Highness Sarkin Kano has been away from Kano for an official assignment throughout this week. His Highness attended the meeting of Northern Traditional Rulers’ Council in Kaduna on Monday, December 9, 2019. He then proceeded to Abuja where he attended the meeting of Nigerian Traditional Rulers’ Council on Wednesday, December 11, 2019.

“On Thursday, December 12, 2019, His Highness was in attendance at the Nigerian Inter-Religious Council meeting, also in Abuja. “I have been directed to inform you that His Highness acknowledges receipt of the letter and has taken note of its contents,’’ the letter read.” It would be recalled that prior to the acceptance by Emir Sanusi to be chairman of the Council of Chiefs, there were calls for and against his removal by civil society organisations.

A group of 34 civil society organizations, suspected to be sponsored by the government, called on the governor to remove Emir Sanusi for alleged disobedience to the governor. The group, apart from holding a press conference at the American Corner of the Kano State Library, further presented their request in a letter to the governor.

However, in less than 24 hours, 183 other civil society organisations believed to be sponsored by Emir Sanusi, issued a statement, dissociating themselves from the earlier call.

If I wia sanusi I will just resign, I cant be controlled by dix gandollar

Emir Sanusi just resign & leave Kano local politics as there is no diplomacy for fighting in the mud with the babanriga bullion van dollar bribe stuffing man as this is beginning of more of your down fall.

I said it earlier-there are some fights that don't worth your dignity or prestige but some mummified zombies said it was foolishness.

Sanusi Haf Join the Que..

I Repeat, Karma is REAL OOOOOO!

Sanusi don suffer for gandollar hand walahi

The governor put him in a difficult situation, if he accept to chair, it means he recognize the new emirs as legit. If he refuses, someone else will happily chair it and he becomes a mere member. He should have refused the appointment, 4 years is not long

oga, he should resign

This man should dethrone Sanusi already lets rest ..if you want to shoot then shoot and don't talk

Sanusi will do follow follow till 2023 when his own anointed candidate will take over and upturn the whole case

Gandollar na bastard

Sanusi should stay nd fight d battle. Him resigning means that Gandollar has won cos that is what he wants

Ganduje, you have less than four years to go.
Emir position is lifelong.

When ever you see "a source said" you should know that that news is fake.

Cc lalasticlala

Ganduje trying to raise emirs for future ambition, instead of just one powerful emir that will be playing small god, great move from him, he is politically correct. In the North, traditional rulers determine elections

Sanusi Lamido Sanusi brought this insults & disgrace on himself.

For those who may not know, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi is the only man whose record at the King's College Lagos (His Alma Matter) is yet to be broken.

In Bible Knowledge, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, though a Muslim - memorized the Bible from A to Z and till now, no one has broken that record at the King's College.

Sanusi Lamido Sanusi ought to be fighting or contesting for the seat of the Presidency, not a downgraded Emir stool in a jungle called Kano State in this digital age.

Gandollar can not even tie the lace of Kwankwaso's shoes, let alone - Sanusi Lamido Sanusi's.

There was a reason the late Musa Yaradua brought him up from obscurity into the limelight by appointing him as the CBN Governor.

Only few Southerners can rival Sanusi's brilliance & intelligence.

Anyways, that is by the way.

I am using this opportunity to call on the Lagos State Governor - Babajide Sanwo-Olu aka Pointus Pilate to help us appeal to the Ikeja Electricity Distribution Company (IKEDC) to restore our electricity at Ojodu-Berger.

For the past 3 days, the only lights we have been seeing at Ojodu-Berger are the break-lights of his BRT buses in the traffic.

I swear to Obatala, I will curse you PHCN officials with the afoshe alagemo that I inherited from my grandfather if my power is not restored tonight.

I cannot continue buying petrol for running my generator with the money I have already budgeted for Beer & Olosho in this yuletide season. It is not sustainable - Never!

We were told the electricity whatever had fault for over 3 days now and they've not been able to fix it, but if it is time to be carrying ladder up & down inorder to extort Nigerians for disconnection fees - dem no go hear any stories.

Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, if you must break & surpass the records of Babatunde Fashola in Lagos State, you must ensure these bastards called PHCN officials are put in the gutter where they belong.

Thank you!

I no dey sorry for my king o, e be wan put fire for this country during Jonah era.

Ordinary, what he ought to have done is to resign but I believe Sanusi knows what he is doing. Someone as intelligent as him actually knows what he is doing. Wish him all the very best.

See as the all powerful emir of Kano is been dragged on the mud cos of politics.

Sanusi don enter one chance.

Gandollar will get his fill off embarrassing, tormenting and eventually dethrone him before he leaves office.

Karma is a bitch!

Gandollar has no care about what can happen to him in the future if and when tables are turned.

We watch

They really want to destroy this man!!!

Well, that's KARMA..... No menu, you are served what you deserved.

make ganduje Sha do and go.

When this same man was busy spewing trash in the name of a missing $50 Billion, he thought he was doing the APC a favour, now a corrupt and bribe taking APC governor is skinning him alive. I seriously have no pity left anywhere to give him, if you have yours with you, kindly show him some pity.

I foresee crisis on Kano soon

The cat and mouse game continues. At the end, we will see who blinks first.
