There is a plan to dethrone the Emir of Kano , Muhammadu Sanusi II , if he declines to swap positions with the Emir of Bichi , a Kano group , Renaissance Coalition , has alleged .
In a press statement on Thursday by the spokesman for the group , Ibrahim Waiyaon , the group said the “ evil plan from the Kano State Government is meant to ” replace Emir Muhammadu Sanusi II , with his Bichi counterpart , Alhaji Nnasiru Ado-Bayero .
The statement read in part , “ It has come to the notice of the Renaissance Coalition that the Kano State Government has a plan to send the Emir of Kano , Muhammadu Sanusi II , to Bichi ; and in the event he resists, he will be deposed .
The group claimed that the Kano State Government was making the move despite a subsisting court ruling which ordered the maintenance of status quo pending conclusion of the matter before it .
According to the statement , the coalition decided to be proactive because of the consequences of the alleged action of the government on the people of Kano State .
“ We strongly call on the governor to desist from going on with this alleged plot and such similar actions , which are capable of jeopardising the relative peace being enjoyed in the state , ” the group said .
It called on security agencies , political leaders and leaders and any person with the means ; to advise the governor to desist from such an act.
