Buhari reacts as Ganduje dethrones Sanusi as Emir of Kano, blasts those linking him to sack
President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday denied involvement in the dethronement of Muhammadu Sanusi as the Emir of Kano.
However, a statement signed and sent to DAILY POST by Buhari’s spokesperson, Garba Shehu described the allegation by Kwankwaso as “untrue, malicious and politically motivated.” “As outlined in the Constitution, the appointment or removal of emirs and other traditional leaders is strictly within the jurisdiction of state governments. It is unfair and disingenuous of opposition politicians to try to link the situation in Kano State to the federal government and the Nigerian President.”
The president also commended the people of Kano for their peaceful reaction to the dethronement of the former Emir.
