Popular cleric, Apostle Johnson Suleman, has questioned the power of the Kano State Governor, Abdullah Dangoje, to allegedly banish deposed Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi.
Following the removal of Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, Governor Ganduje appointed one of the sons of late Emir of Kano, Ado Bayero, Aminu Ado Bayero as the 15th Fulani Emir of the state.
Sanusi has, however, ben taken to Nasarawa State in circumstances now raising dust.
Reacting to the development, Apostle Johnson Suleman stated that disrespecting a Governor is not a criminal offence.
The General Overseer of Omega Fire Ministries who however admitted that a Governor has the right to depose a traditional ruler, stated that a Governor does not have the right to detain anyone who has not committed an offence.
Suleman tweeted;
“I can understand the dethronment of the former Emir of Kano.. What I don’t understand is the detention. Over what? A governor has right to depose a traditional ruler but has no right to detain anyone who has not committed an offence. Disrespecting a governor is not a criminal offence.”
