Ganduje in limbo as 3 Kano princes reject Bichi emir offer – TheNigerialawyer

At least three top Kano princes have rejected an offer for
appointment as Emir of Bichi, one of the four new emirates created
by the governor of Kano State Abdullahi Ganduje on May 8, DAILY
NIGERIAN reports.

DAILY NIGERIAN reliably gathered that the governor had a meeting
with Wamban Kano, Aminu Bayero; Chiroman Kano, Nasiru Bayero and
district heads of Rano, Gaya and Karaye at the Government House on
Thursday night.

Inside sources said the offer to serve as Emir of Bichi was
first made to Chiroman Kano Nasiru Bayero, who rejected the offer
outright.

The governor then pushed the offer to Chiroma’s elder brother,
Aminu Bayero, who said he needed time to consult. Sources close to
the prince told DAILY NIGERIAN that he too later rejected the
offer.

Mr Ganduje’s third option was Galadiman Kano, Abbas Sanusi, the
father of the state chairman of All Progressives Congress,
Abdullahi Abbas.

“When the offer was made to Galadima, he contacted Emir Sanusi,
notifying him about the decision. The emir told him the choice is
now left for the Dabo clan to be parties to the desecration of
their heritage or be parties to the defense of their heritage,” a
royal source quoted the emir as saying.

“From all indications, it is unlikely if Galadima will accept
the offer. He too is angry with the creation of more emirates in
Kano.”

DAILY NIGERIAN learnt that after the princes dumped the
governor’s offer, he left Bichi emirship position vacant and
elevated the district heads of Rano, Gaya and Karaye to the rank of
emirs at the meeting.

Sources said Mr Ganduje on Friday morning left for Abuja to meet
with Vice President Yemi Osinbajo over the current developments in
the state.
