The Kano Emirate Council has urged the Federal Government to review the suspension of the Central Bank of Nigeria Governor, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi in the interest of equity, justice and fairness.
Sanusi is a crown prince of the Kano Emirate.
A member of the Emirate Council and Wali of Kano, Alhaji Mahe Bashir-Wali, made the call while speaking with newsmen in Kano on Friday.
He said “it is our view that the Federal Government should, as a matter of urgency, review this issue by following laid down procedures in the suspension of public officer for equity, justice and fairness.
“As a law abiding organisation, we believe that adherence to the rule of law is paramount and important to any government, more importantly a democratically elected government which preaches and ensures adherence to the rule of law.
“Democracy will never mature if we personalise governance. We need to build an institution, we need to build our democracy and commitment to public accountability is part of building institution”.
Bashir-Wali also said the Emirate was in support of the stand of the House of Representatives on the issue.
