Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, has told Emir Muhammadu Sanusi that he must make a public apology for any reconciliation move to yield result.
The governor said this in a 45-paragrah response to an article, ‘Letter to Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje,’ written by one Jibrin Ibrahim concerning the face-off between the two leaders.
In the article, Ganduje’s former information commissioner, Muhammed Garba, said on his behalf that “Emir Sanusi has the moral burden to withdraw all court cases he’s personally sponsoring against Kano State Government as part of reconciliation conditions.”
The article also said: “It is very important to state that for the reconciliation to yield the desired result, Emir Sanusi has the moral burden to publicly apologise to Governor Ganduje and the entire people of Kano State for dragging the revered Kano Emirate into the murky water of politics.”
Chairman of Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF), Kayode Fayemi, had last week led a team including Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, to resolve the conflict between the duo.
Ganduje further said in the article that Sanusi would also have to accommodate new emirs of Karaye, Rano, Gaya and Bichi, and show his readiness to assume his position as chairman of Kano State Council of Emirs.
