The Emir of Kano, Malam Muhammad
Sanusi II, has denied reportedly calling for the slashing of salaries of
members of the National Assembly.
The former Central Bank Governor,
who insisted that such statement was not from him, noted that he was indoors on
Sunday when he was reported to have made such declaration.
Addressing reporters through his
Chief of Staff, Alhaji Munir in Kano, Sunusi said such report should be
disregarded.
He said, “The statement is said
to have been made in Kaduna and on that day Sunday the Emir had been in Kano
from morning to the following morning and had not made any press remarks or
spoken to anybody that will make him talk about national assembly so I don’t
know how do they come about that statement.
“The said statement purportedly
linked to the Emir’s person and status was not only fake but fabricated to
cause disaffection between his humble self and the esteemed Nigerian
Legislatures
“On that very fateful Sunday the
emir was at home in Kano, and did not received any visitor that would made him
speak on issue of national concern.
”Sanusi’s relationship with the
members of both National Assembly and Kano State House of Assembly has been
cordial and sound, and we had no cause to talk about any issue concerning them,
let alone speak about their pay
“In any case, Sanusi is not the
rightful person to talk about how much anybody is supposed to take as salary, I
think that is left for the government and its wages committee to decide.”
