Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State on Tuesday shook hands and prayed with the Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II. The duo, who met at the Eid praying ground, were meeting for the first time since Governor Ganduje splited the Kano emirate into five.
The creation of the new emirates had generated controversy with some people claiming Ganduje spilted the emirate because Sanusi opposed his reelection bid.
But the governor denied the claim, saying the creation of new emirates was needed to take governance closer to the people.
Meanwhile, the Kano State Public Complaints and Anti-corruption Commission says it has uncovered over N3.4 billion allegedly misappropriated by the Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi II.
The alleged amount was said to have been misappropriated between 2014 and 2017.
This is contained in a preliminary report of investigation conducted by the commission and signed by its Chairman, Mr Muhuyi Magaji, a copy of which was made available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Kano on Monday.
According to the report, the investigation was in respect of a petition of financial misappropriation levelled against Kano Emirate Council under the present Emir, Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi II.
The interim report raised four cardinal issues bordering on indictments, amount involved, obstruction of investigation and recommendations.
