The Speaker of Kano State House of Assembly, Alhaji Kabiru Alhassan Rurum has said that the House of Representatives has no mandate to interfere into the ongoing investigation of the Emir of Kano, Malam Muhammadu Sanusi by the assembly.
Speaking exclusively to Daily Trust on Thursday Rurum said the lower chamber had no power to interfere into any issue related to traditional institutions.
Rurum was reacting to Hon Aliyu Sani Madakin Gini, a member representing Dala federal constituency at the House of Representatives, who called on the House of Representative to intervene into the ongoing probe of the emir by the Kano assembly
which he said could generate crisis if allowed to continue.
It would be recalled that a member from Nassarawa local government in the state assembly, Hon Ibrahim Gama had last week, through a motion, constituted eight-count charge against emir Sanusi, hence, the assembly constituted a 7-man ad-hoc committee to investigate the matter and report back to it within two weeks.
