Kano Emir sacks Gov 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.

Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, while announcing the removal at a special palace sitting in Kano on Monday, said that the decision was as a result of his gross negligence to duty which was an offence for one to tarnish 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 palace was all out to jettison for the sake of safeguarding the credibility of the revered monarchy in Kano.

The monarch stressed that it is an abiding obligation on the shoulders of every traditional ruler to exhibit a degree 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.
