Shehu Sani begs on Emir’s behalf, asks Gov Ganduje to forgive monarch

Former Kaduna Central Senator, Shehu Sani, has called on the Governor of Kano State, Abdullahi Ganduje to forgive Emir of Kano, Malam Muhammadu Sanusi ll, of any wrong doing.

Shehu Sani made the call in a post on Friday via his verified Twitter account urging governor Ganduje to let the Emir be, and also reminded him (Ganduje) that power is transient and as such, he may need the Emir someday.

“Dear Brother @GovUmarGanduje, forgive, forget and move on and let the Emir be. Power is transient. You may need him tomorrow when everyone has left,” Shehu Sani posted on Twitter.

Shehu Sani’s plea comes two days after the Kano State House of Assembly set up an eight-man panel to investigate the allegation of “unethical conduct” brought against the Emir of Kano.

The panel is headed by the Deputy Speaker of the House, Hamisu Chidare.
