After receiving a letter from the State Governor, Abdullahi
Ganduje, the Kano State House Assembly on Monday called off its
investigation into allegations of misappropriation of funds and other
infractions against the Kano Emirates Council.If
you recall, the Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II was accused of
financial recklessness, with an allegation stating that he spent as much
as N6 billion since he ascended the throne in 2014. The emirate reacted
through its senior council official in charge of finance, Bashir Wali,
who told reporters that only N3.4 billion had been spent since Sanusi
ascended the throne in 2014.
In the letter
read during Monday’s plenary by the Speaker, Mr Kabiru Alhassan Rurum,
the governor urged the Assembly to suspend its investigation following
pleas by former leaders, traditional rulers and various statesmen across
the federation for the matter to be dropped.
The Speaker presented the request to the lawmakers for consideration and they all agreed to end the investigation.
