May 25, (THEWILL) – Deputy Governor of Kano State, Comrade Aminu Abdulsalam Gwarzo, has accused the immediate past Governor of the state, Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, of using the office of the National Security Adviser (NSA) to create chaos in the state by “smuggling” the deposed Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado Bayero, into the state.
Gwarzo made the allegation on Saturday while addressing newsmen at the Emir’s palace, Kano.
He alleged that Ganduje, with the support of the office of the NSA, brought in the dethroned Emir in a chartered flight on Saturday.
“It is unfortunate that the APC National Chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje, is using the National Security Adviser to create tension in the state, by smuggling the former Emir, Aminu Ado Bayero, into the state.
“The appointment and dethronement of Emir or any traditional title holder is the sole prerogative of the State Government”, the deputy governor said.
He wondered why the Federal Government would be interfering in whatever happened in that direction.
“I am here together with the governor and other top government functionaries to ensure that the new emir, Muhammadu Sanusi II, starts exercising his power and authority immediately after he was given his appointment letter yesterday (Friday)”, Gwarzo said.
He appealed to residents of the state to go about their lawful and normal businesses without fear or intimidation.
