The Kano Emirate Council has said that the Federal Government was unfair in its decision to suspend the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Mallam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi.
The Emirate has thus called on the Federal Government to review the suspension in the interest of equity, justice and fairness.
Sanusi is a prince of Kano State.
A member of the Emirate Council and Wali of Kano, Alhaji Mahe Bashir-Wali, made the call while briefing newsmen in Kano on Friday.
Bashir-Wali 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 said the Emirate was in support of the stand of the National Assembly on the issue.
