The Kano State House of Assembly has suspended its decision to probe the Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II. The Speaker, Kabiru Alhassan Rurum, disclosed this on Monday during a session of the Assembly.<\/p>\n
According to him, Governor Abdullai Umar Ganduje wrote to the Assembly to halt the probe, following the intervention of well-meaning personalities.<\/p>\n
The lawmakers had two weeks ago constituted a 14- member committee to investigate the emir over allegation of misappropriation of N4 billion and making false assertions against the governor.<\/p>\n
Rurum explained that the lawmakers unanimously agreed to suspend the investigation indefinitely after an exhaustive deliberation. He said: \u201cWe received a letter from Ganduje appealing to us to stop the investigation.\u201d<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the governor has rated his predecessors for their contributions to the state, stating that ex-governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso ranked second in terms of the state\u2019s development after the late Abubakar Rimi, who was the first governor.<\/p>\n
Kwankwaso constructed the \u201cKofar Nassarawa Bridge, Kabuga and Gadon-Kaya Underpass bridges. He also laid the foundation of the first Kano Independent Power Project.\u201d<\/p>\n
He explained that Rimi performed better in education, rural development and media, having established the Triumph newspaper and Abubakar Rimi Television (ARTV).<\/p>\n
He, however, rated the late Audu Bako as the best performing administrator since the state was created in May 1967. Ganduje made the commendation in a special radio programme to mark the 50th anniversary of the state.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the President of National Tranquility Movements (NTM), Mohammed Gashash has absolved the monarch of any wrong. Gashash made this statement at a press conference in Kaduna at the weekend.<\/p>\n
He said Sanusi does not deserve the criticisms against him, saying the monarch has an international reputation for his honesty, intelligence and knowledge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
