Babatunji Wusu –
The deposition and appointment laws for the state emir will be revised, as agreed by the Kano State House of Assembly.
Hussien Dala, the majority leader and Dala constituency MP, made the motion during Tuesday’s plenary session.
2020 saw the removal of Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi, the 14th Emir of Kano, by former Governor Abdullahi Ganduje.
He had signed a measure dividing the Kano emirate into five before his dismissal. Notwithstanding this, there have been calls for Sanusi’s return, especially among state supporters of Kwankwasiyya who are also in favor of the breakup of the recently formed Emirates of Bichi, Gaya, Rano, and Karaye.
However, certain groups oppose the disintegration of the newly formed Emirates.
Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, the head of the ruling New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP) in Kano, has stated that the subject of the emirates would be reevaluated one month prior to Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf taking office.
“We campaigned and we are well-known in Nigeria, especially in Kano. What we showed the people is, by God’s grace, all the good projects we started when we were in government. This governor (Abba Kabir Yusuf) and his team will pick up from where we left off,” Kwankwaso had said.
“We, as elders in the movement, will continue to advise them to do things that are proper. We tried not to talk about whether the Emir would be removed or not, but now you see, the opportunity is there.
“Those who God made leaders will now decide on the next step and decision to take. They will review it and determine what is the right thing to be done.
“Apart from the issue of changing the emir, the emirates have now been divided into five. All of that will be reviewed too. When a leader comes into power, whether in a country, state or local government area, he inherits things that are good and things that are difficult and challenging.
“We are confident God will give the governor (Abba Kabir Yusuf) the wisdom to come and resolve the challenges planted in Kano state so that everyone will leave peacefully in Kano state,” he added.
