Sanusi, Kingmakers shuns Ganduje’s inauguration

The Emir of Kano, Mohammadu Sanusi II on Wednesday shunned the inauguration of the Governor of Kano State.

Ganduje has recently created new four emirates with first class emirs, a development many saw as an affront on Sanusi and an attempt to whittle down his powers in Kano.

As at 10am, the Sani Abacha Stadium, venue of Ganduje’s swearing-in for the second term was full to capacity.

Sanusi, newly appointed, emirs of Karaye and Gaya, as well as other traditional chiefs, districts heads and kingmakers were also absent at the ceremony.
