Buhari ordered Kaduna to offer Sanusi appointments, he should be praised —Bashir Ahmad

Bashir Ahmad, a Personal Assistant on New Media to President Muhammadu Buhari has declared that the incumbent president should be praised because he ordered the recent appointments offered to the dethroned Emir of Kano, Mohammed Sanusi II.

He revealed this in a post on Twitter shared on Thursday where he appeared to be mocking former Kano State Governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso who earlier claimed that President Buhari had a hand in the removal of Sanusi.

Ahmad in the series of tweets on his official handle added that he wonders why nobody had praised President Buhari for ordering the recent appointments offered to the deposed Emir.

The presidential aide wrote: “By the way, I am yet to see anyone praising President Muhammadu Buhari for HRH Muhammadu Sanusi’s recent appointments, “he ordered his ‘godson’ Mallam Nasir el-Rufai to make the appointments”. All the newspapers are welcome to carry this information.

“I have a picture where Buhari was ordering El-Rufai, I will soon drop it, as one of the major newspapers, I hope you’ll publish it as my evidence and ask Kwankwaso to also come up with his own evidence when PMB was ordering Ganduje,” he added.

Twenty four hours ago, the Kaduna State Government announced a second appointment for Sanusi, who was dethroned as Emir of Kano by the Kano State government on Monday.

He is now the Chancellor of the Kaduna State University (KASU) and it comes after his first appointment on Tuesday, into the KADIPA board, the state’s investment promotion agency.

A statement from the Kaduna State Government House announced the second appointment.
