A fresh plot to depose the Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, by the state government has been uncovered, according to a group, the Renaissance Coalition.
Recall that the relation between Gov. Abdullahi Ganduje and Sanusi were frosty culminating in the governor balkanizing Kano Emirate into five emirates amid investigation of the monarch by the State Public Complainant and Anti-corruption Commission for alleged N4bn fraud.
Then it was believed that the attack on Sanusi would ultimately lead to his sack. However peace was later brokered between the pair.
But Renaissance Coalition in a statement released by its pokesperson, Ibrahim A. Waiya, alleged it uncovered plans by the state government to post the Emir from Kano Emirate to Bichi Emirate, saying in the event the former CBN governor spurned the posting he would be deposed.
The statement reads: “It is quite unfortunate that such a plot is being hatched despite a subsisting court ruling which has ordered the maintenance of status quo pending conclusion of the matter before it.
“This is indeed a very dangerous move and it is likely to cause unrest within the polity. The alleged plot also shows efforts on the part of the governor to advance a personal vendetta at the expense of the peace and wellbeing of the citizens he swore to protect. We deem it our responsibility to do everything possible within our power to advocate for the peace and wellbeing of the citizens by calling on all well-meaning individuals and the federal government to urge the governor to desist from any further action against the Kano emirate and Emir Sanusi ll.”
