January 19, (THEWILL) – The former Governor of Kano State and leader of the Kwankwasiyya movement, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has said that the issue of Kano Emirates will definitely be revisited.
Recall that former governor Abdullahi Ganduje split the Kano emirate into five and later dethroned the then Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi II.
Following the victory of the New Nigerian People’s Party in the 2023 gubernatorial election, Kwankwaso 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, the NNPP leader said, “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; 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 things that are bad 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 Governor Yusuf, there have been intensified calls for the reinstatement of Sanusi.
