Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, has said the Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II is supposed to be reporting to a local government chairman according to the nation’s constitution.
Ganduje was denying reports that his decision to create four additional emirates in the state was a target at humiliating Sanusi. The new Emirates are Gaya, Rano, Karaye and Bichi.
According to the governor, the move was to bring the traditional institution to be more involved in developing the state and encouraging people’s participation.

Speaking with newsmen at the State House, he said his action “is not vendetta, I am not against him.”
“In fact, he is supposed to be reporting to the local government chairman according to the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“It is the local government chairman that he is supposed to discuss issues with not the governor.”
“So, this is celebrated by the people of Kano State and we will make sure that the new emirate councils are effective in terms of developing Kano State.”
