The governor of Kano State, Abdullahi Ganduje, has again opened another Pandora box, saying that the dethroned emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II did not deserve to be the emir in the first place.
Mr. Ganduje stated this while speaking at a public presentation of a book on former President Goodluck Johnathan, authored by a journalist, Bonaventure Philips Melah.
According to the governor, Mr. Sanusi was not the best man for the throne at the time he was appointed in June 2014, but was given the throne to spite former President Jonathan.
Mr Ganduje said: “Sanusi was appointed Emir of Kano not because he was the best man for the throne but to retaliate what Jonathan did to him.
“That was in order to prove that what Jonathan did to him was wrong and that the people of Kano wanted their son as Emir and therefore they decided to appoint him as Emir.
“But when he was appointed, there were a lot of demonstration with people burning tyres here and there. But because of government backing, he was sustained on the stool.
“When I became governor, (that’s why you will laugh), I said yes, the Jonathan medicine is an important medicine.
“That medicine, even though I am not a medical doctor, but that medicine would serve the same purpose, for the same disease and for the same patient.
“So I took my Jonathan medicine and decided to save the system, to save the institution and I applied it effectively. So Jonathan and I are on the same page. Actually, I have no regrets.”
