Appointment of Sanusi as Emir not Nullified —Commissioner


 FOLLOWING the crisis that erupted after the announcement of Mallam Lamido Sanusi as the new Emir of Kano, the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar, may lead other prominent Northern Emirs, religious leaders, traditional rulers, politicians and businessmen to douse the tension the new appointment is currently causing.
 
According to findings, notable emirs in the north were not happy with the way politics and other negative dimension were being read to the appointment of the new Emir of Kano, a situation they believed could have a negative implication on the respect given to the exalted position of the emirship from the North.

The venue of the meeting, the source said, may be a neutral ground, with Kaduna, regarded as the administrative centre of the North, top on the list.

In another development, Kano State Commissioner for Information, Dr Danburam Abubakar Nuhu, refuted a rumour doing the rounds that the appointment of Mallam Sanusi as the Emir of Kano has been nullified, saying there was no iota of truth in the speculation.

A section of the youth, it was gathered, allegedly jubilated at some quarters in the town on Wednesday that Sanusi had been relieved of his appointment as emir, a situation that caused mixed reactions in the city.

A source told the Nigerian Tribune that some youths were jubilating that the new emir had been relieved of his new appointment.
The commissioner, however, cautioned the people to be careful, saying the state needed peace and not crisis.

He added that the rumour could have caused a serious problem if not for the timely reaction from the government circle.

While addressing a press conference on Wednesday, Dr Nuhu called on members of the public to disregard the rumour and go about their normal duties and accept the emergence of Sanusi as the Emir of Kano in good fate.

The commissioner, said the appointment of Sanusi “is not only well deserved, but is the most suitable option when compared with the other three contenders.”
He described the new emir as a man of integrity and prudence, as proven in all the establishments he had worked throughout his professional career.
