President Muhammadu Buhari has promised not to interfere in the perceived feud between Kano state governor, Abdullahi Ganduje and Emir Muhammadu Sanusi II.
He made this known while playing host to Ganduje and other elected APC members as well as prominent indigenes of Kano state. The absence of Emir Sanusi was conspicuous with Aminu Ado Bayero, Emir of Bichi Ado the newly installed Emirate by Ganduje and others in attendance.
The President stated that interfering in the feud would be reaching beyond his constitutional duties.
“I know my role as the President of Nigeria. By the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, the Governor of Kano State has his own roles, once a matter is in the hands of the House of Assembly (like in Kano), the President has no constitutional right to interfere.

“I am here by the constitution, I swore by it, and I am going to stand by it. But let me tell you the bottomline of my understanding of the constitutional role is that peace and security of all Nigerians must be guaranteed, where the people are threatened, then I will use my constitutional powers,” said President Buhari
