Crisis has erupted in Kano State following the appointment of a former Central Bank of Nigeria governor, Mallam Lamido Sanusi, as the Emir of Kano. The State Governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso has accused President Goodluck Jonathan is pointing accusing fingers at President Jonathan for plotting an “agenda which is not good for this country.”
Kwankwaso added that “Mr. President doesn’t seem to know where his power starts and where it stops. The appointment of an emir is purely a state affair. I am happy to say that nobody has questioned the eligibility of the new emir.
“They did not even fault or question the process. We are happy because he is well educated and exposed both nationally and internationally. What business has the Federal Government with the appointment of the Emir of Kano.
“If there is Emir of Nigeria, let him go and appoint him. My feeling is that they have more than enough security problems, especially finding the Chibok girls than sending police to go and block the Emir of Kano’s palace just because of Sanusi.”
Sanusi has been operating from the state Government House, Kano since his appointment as the 14th Emir of Kano to replace the late Ado Bayero, who died on Friday, at the age of 83.
