Ganduje Sanusi: Kano Commends Dangote, Fayemi For Reconciliation

Kano State residents have commended the reconciliation of Gov. Abdullahi Ganduje with the Emir of Kano, Malam Muhammadu Sanusi II by a committee initiated by Alhaji Aliko Dangote and Gov. Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti State in Abuja on Friday.

According to the residents, the reconciliation was in the best interest of peace in the state and the nation.

Dr Abba Ahmed, a retired civil servant in the state, said the reconciliation provided much relief to many residents.

He said, “I have been tensed since the issue started, especially that I live close to the Emirate where people have developed a high sentiment over the situation.”

He noted that the situation was one of the few bad things that could happen to Kano, thus commended Dangote’s committee for the action.

Another civil servant, Malam Nura Muhammad, told NAN that the reconciliation was timely as it would save the whole of Northern Nigeria a lot of trouble.

According to him, “Kano has indeed become a centre for democracy not only in the North but in the whole country and many states look up to it for new political strategies.

“It’s also a hub for traditional influence where the Emirate plays a vital role in global affairs, while the Emir himself has attracted global attention, ” he said.

The crisis between Gov. Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State and the Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi ll, was resolved following a reconciliatory meeting between the two in Abuja on Friday.

It would be recalled that the Kano State government on Thursday issued a query to the Emir of Kano over alleged misappropriation of N3.4billion by the Emirate Council.
