Dethronement: How Presidency Tried to Save Sanusi
I don’t want to go back, I’ve moved on, says deposed EmirContrary to insinuations doing the rounds, the Presidency actually made several moves to reconcile the Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje and the deposed Emir of the state, Muhammadu Sanusi ll, in the peak of their feud.
He said, when the Ganduje administration made up its mind to remove Emir Sunusi as far back as 2017, the governor informed President Muhammadu Buhari of this decision and asked Buhari for advice and guidance. “They did their best. Calm returned but occasional flare-ups continued and were aggravated by the tense situations under which the governor reemerged for his second term in the 2019 general election”, he added.
“The committee members sat down with the president at the Villa to discuss their mission.At this meeting, the president outlined the efforts he put into the resolution of the conflict in Kano and said he had had enough. He gave assurances of support and put at their disposal, the use of the Presidential Aircraft, then wished them the best of luck. But he did make clear that if the situation warranted it, we would not hesitate to clamp an emergency rule on the state.
“He stood firmly that the case he instituted against the Code of Conduct Bureau will not be withdrawn, because in his view, he needed to pursue it to clear his name, a demand that Ganduje rejected.” He said, “the President holds Sanusi in the highest esteem and has nothing personal against him and, therefore, he couldn’t have told Ganduje to depose him,” describing as nonsensical the allegation that Buhari, was complicit in the Emir’s illegal removal and banishment to Nasarawa.
