Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State has made a revelation.

He said; “Sanusi was appointed the Emir in 2014 to spite former President Goodluck Jonathan, who sacked him as the Central Bank Governor for alleging that $49 billion was missing from the public coffers.”

“Sanusi was not the best man for the throne at the time he was appointed in June 2014, he was sustained on the stool despite widespread protests because he had the backing of the Rabiu Kwankwaso administration in the state.”

“Sanusi ought to have discussed the matter privately with the former President, who in turn could have ordered an investigation into the allegation.”

“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 as Emir.”

“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.”
