Kano Emirates’ issue will be revisited — Kwankwaso

Former Governor of Kano State and the leader of the Kwankwasiyya movement, Sen. Rabi’u Kwankwaso, has said that the issue of Kano emirates will definitely be revisited.

Former Governor Abdullahi Ganduje had split the Kano emirate into five and dethroned the then Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi II.

Following the victory of the New Nigerian Peoples Party in last year’s election, Kwankwaso had said the government of Abba Kabir Yusuf would review the dethronement and balkanisation of the emirate.

Speaking in an interview granted to select radio stations in Kano on Thursday night, the NNPP leader restated that the issue of Kano emirates will be revisited.

“Honestly it is one of the things that nobody has sat with me to discuss so far but I am sure we are going to sit and see how to go about it. Is it going to be allowed, demolished, corrected, or whatever? It will be revisited, and what’s supposed to be done will be done.

“There were a lot of things and this was a trap. All these things were not done in good faith or intention. It was brought with some bad intentions which every one of you here and our listeners are aware of.

“Sometimes you come with things that are good and they turn out to be bad while sometimes you bring bad things and they turn out to be good. So, all I know is that I was not consulted as of now but definitely, we will come to discuss and see what should be done.”

It has been observed that after the Supreme Court validated the victory of Yusuf, there were intensified calls for the reinstatement of the former Kano Emir, Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi II.
