Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, has given the Emir of Kano, Muhammad Sanusi II, two days to either accept or reject his appointment as head of the state council of chiefs.
The governor gave the ultimatum in a letter dated December 19 and signed by the Permanent Secretary, Special Duties, Musa Bichi, on behalf of the Secretary to the State Government.
