Kano Gov’t accuses Ganduje of using ‘federal power’ to bring deposed Emir Aminu Bayero back to Kano
The former governor and national chairman of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has been accused by the Kano State government of using National Security Adviser’s office to smuggle former Emir Aminu Ado Bayero into the state and cause disturbances.
Kano State Deputy Governor Aminu Abdusalam Gwarzo made the statement in an interview with media on Saturday morning at the Emir’s residence.
Newsmen report that Gwarzo alleged that Abdullahi Ganduje with the support of the office of the National Security Adviser, brought in the dethroned Emir in a chartered flight on Saturday.
‘’It is unfortunate that the APC National Chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje is using the National Security Adviser to create tension in the state by smuggling into the state, the former emir, Aminu Ado Bayero,’’ the deputy governor alleged.
He said the appointment and dethronement of Emir or any traditional title is solely the prerogative of the state government, hence he expressed surprise that the federal government will be interfering in whatever happened in that direction.
‘’I am here together with the governor and other top government functionaries to ensure that the new emir, Muhammadu Sanusi II start exercising is power and authority immediately after he was given his appointment letter yesterday, Friday.’’
The deputy governor appealed to Kano residents to go about their legal and normal businesses without fear or intimidation.
