Governor Abdullahi Ganduje has revealed why the former Emir of Kano Muhammad Sanusi, was deposed by his administration, saying he lost his throne because he refused to be a part of the reforms of the state’s emirate system.
Recall that Sanusi was dethroned in March, and exiled from the State. The Kano State Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission had accused him of misappropriation of funds and launched a probe against him.
Speaking at a media parley to mark Democracy Day on Monday, Ganduje noted that the reforms he took have come to stay. He had created four emirates in the bid to split the power of the former emir. Though he said the action was for administrative convenience. He then noted that Sanusi had to bow out of the system when he could not abide.
