Governor Abdullahi Ganduje has given two reasons why he removed Mallam Muhammad Sanusi as the emir of Kano on Monday morning.

A special statement issued by the Secretary to the State Government, Alhaji Usman Alhaji on Monday afternoon hours after the action gave reasons for the controversial move.

The government alleged the emir’s alleged disrespect of lawful instructions and alleged refusal to honour official meetings.

The statement read thus:

The Kano State Executive Council under the chairmanship of His Excellency, the governor of Kano State, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje OFR, has unanimously approved the immediate removal/dethronement of the emir of Kano emirate Muhammad Sanusi II.

The emir of Kano is in total disrespect to lawful instructions from the office of the state governor and other lawful authorities, including his persistent refusal to attend official meetings and programmes organized by the government without any lawful justification which amount to total insubordination.

It is on record and in so many instances Mallam Muhammad Sanusi II has been found breaching Part 3 Section 13 (a-e) of the Kano State Emirate law 2019 and which if left unchecked will destroy the good and established image of the Kano emirate.

This removal is made after due consultation with the relevant stakeholders and in compliance with part 3 section 13 of the Kano State Emirate Law 2019 and other reasons stated above.

The removal was in order to safeguard the sanctity, culture, tradition, religion and prestige of the Kano Emirate built over a thousand years.

His Excellency, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje OFR, calls on the general public to remain calm, law abiding and to go about their normal businesses. While a new emir of Kano emirate will soon be appointed.
