Emir of Kano, Malam Muhammad Sanusi II is not under threat of dethronement, Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje of Kano state has said.
Insinuatitions were rife that the Kano State government, was planning to dethrone Sanisi II, but the government on Friday, denied the allegations.
A Kano group, Renaissance Coalition, in a press statement signed by its spokesman, Ibrahim A. Waiya, had alleged that plans were under way by the Kano State Government to transfer the Sanusi II to Bichi Emirate as Emir.
According to the statement, if the monarch resists the move, he would be dethroned.
However, the statement cautioned Governor Ganduje against the plot, which is capable of destabilising the peace and stability being enjoyed in the State.
The group, in the statement, threatened that if the Governor goes ahead with the plan, it would have no option than to compel the Federal Government to declare a state of Emergency in Kano.
But Ganduje’s Chief Press Secretary, Abba Auwal, dismissed the insinuation as false, saying that “there is no such plans.”
