Kano State Governor Ganduje<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano, says he has received a letter asking him to dethrone Muhammad Sanusi II, emir of Kano, if he fails to submit to the state\u2019s authority.<\/p>\n

This was disclosed in a statement\u00a0 Abba Anwar, spokesman of the governor on Thursday, adding that 35 civil society organisations (CSOs) wrote to the governor over their concerns on the face-off between the government and the emir.<\/p>\n

The statement read thus;\u00a0\u201cGovernor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje of Kano state has received a letter from a coalition of 35 civil society groups urging him to, in the interest of protecting the sanctity of the rule of law, and the mandate given to him by Kano electorate, as a matter of urgency, start the process of dethroning the Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II. \u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe letter titled \u2018Kano State Emirate Council Law, 2019 : Demand Letter\u2019 states clearly that; \u2018The coalition of 35 Civil Society Groups under the above mentioned group (UMBRELLA OF KANO CONCERNED CIVIL SOCIETY GROUPS) are curiously studying the unfolding events in the running of Kano State affairs especially in recent time, as it relates to the lingering face-off between the Government of Kano State on one hand and the Emir of Kano on the other hand.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cReminding specifically that, matters that arose from the aftermath of Kano State High Court decision nullifying the Kano State Emirate Council Law, that was enacted by the State House of Assembly, which eventually paved way for the enactment of another Law, creating additional 4 First Class Emirates, which also empowers the Governor to take disciplinary measures against any erring emir, \u2018\u2026should be effected,\u2019 according to the letter.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe letter was signed by Comrade Ibrahim Ali, Chairman of the Coalition, which continues that, \u2018Soon afterward, the same Law which repeals all the existing Emirate Councils Laws, and consolidates it in the Kano State Emirate Council Law 2019, was again been challenged first by the purportedly 5 kingmakers from one of the 5 Emirates established by the said law.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cThe letter lamented that, even the \u2018\u2026second litigation was initiated by the so-called Kano State Elders who indulged their group in their understanding that the Law was aimed at distorting 1000 years of heritage or thereafter of Kano.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter narrating all the disagreed areas in the letter, the group demands that; That the action of the Emir of Kano Malam Muhammadu Sanusi II of continued undermining the constituted authority of the government of Kano State and its organs, is not only unconstitutional, but is an effort to create a state within a state. Which no responsible leadership will tolerate and allow to remain unabated.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
