Kano Emir Sacks Governor Ganduje’s Brother as Village Head

The Kano Emirate Council has removed Sani Umar Ganduje, the younger brother of the Kano State governor, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, as the Village Head of Ganduje.

Announcing the removal at a special palace sitting in Kano on Monday, the Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II saying it was as a result of his gross negligence to duty which was an offence for one to smear the good image of the traditional institution.

According to him, the Village Head was stripped of his turban as his offence bordered on gross official misconduct which the place was all out to jettison for the sake of safeguarding the credibility of the revered monarchy in Kano stressing that it is an abiding obligation on the shoulders of every traditional ruler to exhibit a modicum of good conduct.

He called on all traditional rulers in Kano Emirate Council to be disciplined and shun any act of negligence and gross official misconduct. He went on to stress that with discipline and absolute commitment to duty nothing could ever stand in the wheel of the Kano Emirate Council to maintain its adored status.
