Sources say the Kano state government approves the emir’s spending, adding that he also pays for his tickets.

According to DTD, a member of the Kano Emirate Council, Mallam Magaji Galadima, who allegedly displayed the payslip, debunked the allegations of corruption against the Emir.

Galadima said “Dear people of God, Pls see the pay-slip of HRH Sarkin Kano, it is N1,246,875.00 net, as against the cheekily reported 12 million Naira monthly by some online publications. It may interest you to know that in colonial times, the Emir of Kano was the highest paid public office holder in Nigeria.”
