The governor of Kano State, Dr Umar Ganduje, has affirmed that the long-standing rift between his government and the Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi, is a constitutional issue and must, therefore, be resolved constitutionally.
Speaking to State House correspondents after leading the state delegation on a courtesy call on President Muhammadu Buhari at the presidential villa, Abuja on Friday, he acknowledged that a high-powered committee has been set up to bring the rift to an end.
He, however, hoped that solution could soon be found.
Ganduje, whose over 50-man delegation included only one of the five emirs in the state, had been asked why Sanusi was absent.
He responded that he could not carry all five emirs with him at the same time.
