Sanusi Accepts Ganduje’s Request to Head Kano Council of Chiefs

Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, has accepted his appointment as the chairman Kano State Council of Chiefs.

His acceptance was conveyed in a letter dated December 19, 2019, signed by the acting secretary of the Kano Emirate, Abba Yusuf.

The letter reads, “Kindly inform His Excellency that His Highness, Sarkin Kano, has not rejected his appointment as Chairman, Kano State Council of Chiefs. His Highness accepted the appointment.

“In doing so, His Highness requested for further directives of His Excellency, the Governor. For clarity, these directives may include, appointment of other members of the Council, appointment of staff of the Council, provision of accommodation for the Secretariat and other logistics, to make the Council operational.”

The letter was addressed to the secretary to the state government, who was asked to “graciously convey to His Excellency, the Governor, the renewed assurances of the highest esteem and regards of His Highness, Sarkin Kano”.

The council of chiefs is made up of all the five emirates in the state and other members.

The development comes after Governor Abdullahi Ganduje gave Sanusi a two-day ultimatum to either accept or reject the appointment.
