The power play that has colored the relationship between Governor Abdullahi Gandoje of Kano State and the Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammad Sanusi, has again reared its head.
The governor has directed district heads not to attend the End Durbar organized by Sanusi but to attend those held in their respective domains and supervised by their respective First Class Emirs.
Ganduje gave the order through order through a statement signed by Ganduje’s Chief Press Secretary, Abba Anwar.
The statement reads:, “Against some calls circulating in the social media that all district heads were directed to attend Hawan Daushe at Kano Emir’s palace, the Kano State Government has directed all Hakimai to attend Hawan Daushe at their respective emirates,” the statement read.
“It is therefore directed that district heads from Bichi Emirate should attend their Hawan Daushe with the first-class Emir of Bichi, Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero; District Heads from Rano Emirate should attend Hawan Daushe with their first-class Emir, Alhaji Dr Tafida Abubakar (Autan Bawo).
“All district heads from Karaye Emirate should attend Hawan Daushe with their first-class Emir, Alhaji Dr Ibrahim Abubakar II; all district heads from Gaya Emirate should attend Hawan Daushe with their first-class Emir, Alhaji Ibrahim Abdulkadir; and those district heads from Kano Emirate are also directed to attend Hawan Daushe with their first-class Emir, Muhammadu Sanusi II.”
