- Says he was appointed to spite Jonathan
Kano State governor, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has said that the dethroned Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sunusi II, is not fit to be a king.
Ganduje made the comment at the presentation of a book on former President Goodluck Johnathan, alleging that Sanusi was considered for the throne in order to spite Jonathan.
According to him, “Sanusi was appointed Emir of Kano not because he was the best man for the throne but to retaliate what Jonathan did to him; that was in order to prove that what Jonathan did to him was wrong and that the people of Kano wanted their son as Emir and therefore they decided to appoint him as Emir.”
The governor added that Sanusi should not have spoken publicly about the missing money.
Rabi’u Kwankwaso, a former governor of Kano, had appointed Sanusi as emir in 2014. But Ganduje, who succeeded Kwankwaso, removed the monarch in March.
