He said the appointment and dethronement of Emir or any traditional title is solely the prerogative of the state government, hence he expressed surprise that the federal government will be interfering in whatever happened in that direction.

‘’I am here together with the governor and other top government functionaries to ensure that the new emir, Muhammadu Sanusi II start exercising is power and authority immediately after he was given his appointment letter yesterday, Friday.’’
