Kano State Deputy Governor, Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo has accused the National Chairman of the All Progressive Congress (APC) and former governor of the state, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje of smuggling in the deposed Emir into the state.
Speaking with newsmen at the Emirs Palace, Gwarzo alleged that Ganduje, with the support of the office of the National Security Adviser, brought in the dethroned Emir in a chartered flight on Saturday.
“It is unfortunate that the APC National Chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje is using the National Security Adviser to create tension in the state by smuggling into the state, the former emir, Aminu Ado Bayero,” he alleged.
He observed that appointment and deposition of monarchs or any traditional ruler was entirely the prerogative of the state government, adding that it is act of interference or trespass for any other person to try to get involved.
He expressed surprise at the fact that the Federal Government was intervening on the issues of deposition and appointment of traditional rulers at the state level.
Gwarzo also stated that the state government has not received any court order restraining its action, adding that when they inquired about the order, they gathered that the judge who issued it was in America.
He insisted that they have followed the law and was not against it in the discharge of their assignment.
