A top emirate person, who
spoke to Leadership on the condition of anonymity, said the sacked secretary
was behind most negative stories emanating from the emirate.
The emir of Kano, Muhammadu
Sanusi II, has sacked palace secretary, Isa Sanusi Bayero (Isa Pilot), for
allegedly leaking information from the palace.
According to the source,
the palace secretary leaked all the financial dealings of the emirate to an
online publisher, adding that his actions fanned the recent crisis between the
emir, Kano State government and the State House of Assembly.
Leadership gathered that a
day to the suspension of the emir’s probe by the state assembly, the said, Isa Pilot was seen packing from the
office he has been an occupant since the time of the late emir Ado Bayero.
A source in the office of
the sacked secretary confirmed to Leadership reporter that it’s no longer news
in the palace that the former palace secretary was antagonistic to emir Sanusi,
and was responsible for most of the leaks coming out of the palace.
“The recent rift between
Emir Sanusi and Kano State government exposed the mole role so much to the
level of leaking official documents to the media.
It was also gathered that
the emir’s younger brother,Mustapha, the newly appointed
‘Falaki of Kano’ and also an in-law to late emir Ado Bayero, took over as the
emir’s secretary with immediate effect.
