Abiding with this will be enough for a genuine settlement and I believe that it is in the interest of Emir Sanusi for the probe to be completed so that the sleeping dogs may lie.
Emir Sanusi has been asked to tender a public apology to Ganduje and people of Kano for “dragging the revered image of the Kano emirate into the mockery waters of politics”.
To withdraw all litigations challenging the Kano state government over the creation of the new Emirates.
The Governor also wants Emir Sanusi to extend hands of fellowship to the new first class Emirs, including Emir of Rano, Bichi, Karaye and Gaya.
Emir Muhammad Sanusi has a moral burden to publicly apologize to Governor Ganduje, moral burden to withdraw all court cases he is personally sponsoring against the government.
When these are done, the reconciliation will not only become sweetest but very rewarding, Mallam Muhammad Garba, former Commissioner for Information, said in a statement.
