Elder statesman and Second
Republic politician, Alhaji Tanko Yakassai, has charged Emir Muhammadu Sanusi
II, to be bold and answer the query issued him by investigators of the alleged
financial mismanagement of Kano Emirate Council.
Reacting to the reported query
that was issued to the Emir of Kano, the elder statesman maintained that a
query should not be a cause of worry or surprise as it is a normal process of
establishing the truth in any matter.
Yakasai, however, urged the
investigators to be objective and impartial in the discharge of their
responsibilities.
He urged the emir to go through
the content of the allegations against him and provide answers to the issues
raised.
According to him, “if someone
raises a complaint against one, the correct thing to do is to give the
respondent a chance to answer and defend himself.
“Emir Sanusi’s refusal to submit
himself to their investigation would certainly not be helpful in this case as
silence both in the Common Law and in Islam is deemed as consent,” he told Sun
Newspaper.
He recalled that part of the
submissions of the Kano State Public Complaint and Anti-Corruption Commission
in its interim report was that the emir was not cooperating with their
investigation.
Meanwhile, the elder statesman
dismissed the suggestions that the Emir of Kano should resign at this stage.
“Resignation would surely not
solve the problem as the accusations leveled against him would still be there
even if he is no longer there as the Emir of Kano,” he said.
