Kano state government has dethroned the Emir of Kano, Malam Muhammadu Sanusi ll over disrespect to the office of the governor and other government agencies.
The relationship between the Emir and the governor, Abdullahi Ganduje became frosty over suspicion that the Emir supported the opposition Peoples Democratic Party candidate in the 2019 gubernatorial election.
The Secretary to the State Government, Alhaji Usman Alhaji, who announced the removal said the action takes immediate effect. He further added that the emir’s action violated the part 3 section A-E of Kano state law, hence the removal. He said the removal was in line with consultation with relevant stakeholders.
He said a new emir would be announced in due course.
