The Kano government has declared that it will not be intimidated by any opposition to its decision to dissolve the five emirates and reinstate Emir Muhammadu Sanusi II. Deputy Governor Aminu Gwarzo made this statement while speaking to the press in Kano on Monday.
The controversy began when Governor Abba Yusuf signed the amended Kano State Emirate Council Law on Thursday. This new law dissolved the five emirate councils created by former Governor Abdullahi Ganduje in 2019, effectively removing the emirs appointed by Ganduje and paving the way for the reinstatement of Emir Sanusi.
“The state government made this decision through the proper legal process,” said Deputy Governor Gwarzo. “Nobody will intimidate us for taking a decision that serves the common good of the people. The importance of peaceful coexistence for the state’s progress and political stability is paramount.”
Mr. Gwarzo emphasized that Governor Yusuf is dedicated to restoring Kano to its founding principles of peace, justice, equality, tolerance, and hospitality. He called for unity and forgiveness among the people of Kano, urging everyone to work together towards a harmonious and prosperous future for the state.
