Former military Head of State, Abdusalami Abubakar, has expressed disappointment at the dethronement of Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi as the Emir of Kano.
Abdusalami, who headed a reconciliation committee once battle, said it meant their efforts were wasted.
Besides, he said Buhari promised the committee that he would intervene in the matter.
He told the Voice of America:
“In my view, all the committee’s efforts are wasted. After conclusion of the assignment, we realised that there was amicable resolution to the crisis. Surprisingly, this is what happened at last,” Abubakar said.
“I can’t really say whether Buhari has a hand in the matter because I am currently not in Nigeria. But before I left the country, we submitted our report to him, and he expressed willingness to intervene in the matter in order to have amicable resolution, despite being a constitutional matter. I really don’t know if he had intervened.
“The way this is, I don’t know if he was was involved or not. There are signs that he did because of this our report but I can’t be completely sure, but if he involved himself, I’ll be surprised that we got to this point. But then you know no matter what was said, no matter the advice given, it is what Allah had willed to happen and there’s no one who can change it.”
