The idea of the suspension was reportedly promoted by politicians and elders from within and outside the state close to Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje.
DAILY POST gathered that that some prominent northern leaders were putting pressure on Ganduje to depose the monarch following the latter’s recent outburst.
Recall that Sanusi recently cried out that some Northern elites do not like him and that they were after him, over his critical comments against the North.
Sanusi was installed by Ganduje’s predecessor, Rabiu Kwankwaso who are both not in good terms at the moment.
The two fell out less than a year after Ganduje succeeded his former principal.
A source close to Kano heavyweights told our correspondent Tuesdaymorning that “Ganduje may be favourably disposed to the suspension idea because Kwankwaso was the one who helped Sanusi become Emir.
“You will recall that the ruling PDP was then rooting for Bayero and even rushed to issue a statement congratulating him before announcement.
“So, it was Kwankwaso, who rallied round and used his power as governor to crush Kano and Abuja forces.
“Now that Kwankwaso who installed Sanusi and Ganduje are sworn enemies, the Governor may decide to spite the Senator by showing he is in charge.
“Let me add that this probe issue would never have come up in the first place if Kwankwaso and Ganduje were still best of friends”.
Already, the Kano state Public Complaint and Anti-Corruption Agency (KSPCACA) is set to investigate the Muhammadu Sanusi-led emirate council over an alleged misappropriation of billions of naira supposedly behind by his predecessor, the late Alhaji Ado Bayero.
According to letter of summons signed by the agency’s Director of Operations, Sulaiman Gusau, a Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP), and written to Sanusi, the agency is to probe activities in the emirate since 2015 when the former Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) governor ascended the throne.
Sanusi, however, denied the allegation, insisting that he has only spent less than N3billion since his installation.
The probe followed a petition written to the commission after an online newspaper, Daily Nigerian, had published details of transactions on the emirate’s bank accounts, alleging that the emir had frittered away over N4bn he met in the accounts to finance a flamboyant lifestyle.
The publication, which quoted copiously from transactions on the council’s accounts, alleged that most of the money was used to pay for luxury cars, chattered flights, internet and phone bills, among others.
Meanwhile, there are speculations in Kano that the state anti-graft agency may explore its working relation with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) after preliminary investigation
Ghen ghen!!!! Everyone is under investigation. Things are still very much expensive in the market o

ReplyDeleteThey have come for this man ooo chai ����
ReplyDeleteThe northern part of Nigeria shall always be backward because of useless religion their elites is using to lead the almajiris. Sanusi's crime is in advising them to move with time and stop hiding under religion to drag Nigeria back.
ReplyDeleteTheir leaders are selfish and crafty, they make sure that majority of their people are poor and rely on drugs in order to be able to use them for selfish ambition.
Nigeria should divide already. Mtsheeeeew.
Imagine Buhari putting his northern people on all the important post of the country.
Tired of typing jare.
The leaders should take nite that the youth are tired, they could see an example if the youth can in Ede.
To be honest, Sanusi brcminh too political for s King. His position is not to be political but to be liberal. He should be father of nation to his people and makes both side comfortable to come to his. He should be a trouble solver and not the trouble. Some of his recent comments were uncalled for from a high Monarch like him
ReplyDeleteThis Govt sha! You speak the truth as long as it doesn't favour them, they come for you. Dictatorship abounds in Naija.
ReplyDeleteIs this stella's blog?
ReplyDeleteIt's Obasanjo's library. 😋
DeleteHe has no business being political. Hr asked for the mess
ReplyDeleteSo sanusi has blown 3 billion Naira in less than two years; on what?
ReplyDeleteHow much money does the emirate generate; or is it only to spend?
Behind all the "noise making", he is spendthrift and elitist
You see the problem of Nigeria; why things aren't getting any better?
You see why the North like the status quo and will oppose any attempt to return to regional government where every region develop and use its resources?
A country that live on "spending culture" cannot progress
The governors share federal allocations and spend
The Local govts share federal allocations and spend
The emirates share from the governors and local government contributions and spend
All tiers have abandoned agriculture and spend oil money
No investment; how does the country grow?
Pls ask yourself who released the money to him.
DeleteAny suspects should be investigated ...waiting o
