Sanusi: How MBuhari tried to save deposed Emir
THE Presidency on Saturday vehemently rejected accusation that it was a collaborator in last Monday’s dethronement of Mallam Sanusi Lamido as Emir of Kano by Governor Abdullahi Ganduje.
Buhari was said to have followed up his verbal position on the planned deposition with a November 17, 2017 letter to Ganduje to put his view in a clearer perspective. “The main grouse of the administration was that the Emir had failed to stay above the fray of partisan politics, especially as it related to the governor’s re-election.”
The source said Governor Ganduje gave conditions for peace, including the withdrawal of court cases by Emir Sanusi against the state government. “He stood firmly that the case he instituted against the Code of Conduct Bureau would not be withdrawn because, in his view, he needed to pursue it to clear his name, a demand that Gov Ganduje rejected.”
“Allegations that ‘Abuja,’ referring indirectly to President Buhari, is complicit in the Emir’s alleged forceful removal from the palace and exile to Nasarawa are equally ‘nonsensical’. He said the committee he headed to reconcile Sanusi and Ganduje did its best by holding separate meetings with the governor and the former emir, and even left the duo to discuss.
