Governor Abdulahi Ganduje has revealed reason he dethroned the Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi.
He made the revelation during the launch of a book in honour of Former President Goodluck Jonathan.
The book titled ‘Dear President Goodluck Jonathan (An Open Letter) was written by a former Managing Director of Daily Times Newspaper, Bonaventure Melah in Abuja.
Ganduje said that it became necessary to dethrone Sanusi in order to save the traditional institution of Kano State from abuse.
According to him, “Sanusi was appointed Emir of Kano not because he was the best man for the throne but to retaliate what Jonathan did to him.
“That was in order to prove that what Jonathan did to him was wrong and that the people of Kano wanted their son as Emir and therefore, they decided to appoint him.
“But when he was appointed, there was a lot of demonstration with people burning tyres here and there. But because of government backing, he was sustained on the stool.”

Ganduje condemned Sanusi for not first all all, privately discussing the case of alleged fraud running into over $20 billion against the Jonathan Administration with the former President.
According to him, that would have prompted Jonathan to institute an investigation on the allegation.
Speaking about how he finally dethroned the Emir, @GovUmarGanduje said that “When I became Governor, I said ‘yes, the Jonathan medicine is an important medicine. That medicine, even though I am not a medical doctor, but that medicine would serve the same purpose for the same disease and the same patient.
“So I took my ‘Jonathan medicine and decided to save the system, to save the institution and I applied it effectively.
So Jonathan and I are on the same page. Actually, I have no regrets,” Ganduje said.
