The crisis between Gov. Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State and
the Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi ll has finally come to an end
following a reconciliatory meeting between the two in Abuja.
This is contained in a statement by Mr Abba Anwar, the Chief
Press Secretary to Gov. Ganduje and made available to the News Agency of
Nigeria (NAN) in Kano on Saturday.
According to Anwar, the reconciliatory meeting was initiated
by the Kano born business mogul Alhaji Aliko Dangote and the Chairman of
Nigeria’s Governors’ Forum, Dr Kayode Fayemi.
He said after the meeting, the duo exchanged pleasantries
with each other in Abuja on Friday.
“As the two leaders met, they congratulated each other for
the successful completion of the Ramadan Fast and the Eid-el-Fitr celebration.
“Both leaders spoke and urged all Muslims to continue with
the good teachings and spirit of the Fasting period of the Month of Ramadan.
“Emir Sanusi seized the opportunity to congratulate Gov.
Ganduje for the victory in his second term in office. He also wished the
governor successful tenure in office.”
He said: “For healthier relationship between the two
institutions of government and Kano Emirate Council, the dialogues will
continue.”
NAN recalls that the Kano State Government on Thursday
queried the Sanusi over alleged misappropriation of N3.4bn by the Kano Emirate
Council.
The state government had also created four emirates out of
Kano.
