Kano Gov’t appeals to Tinubu for Emirate tussle probe; fears unrest.
The Kano State government is in a heated dispute with the federal government over the Kano Emirate. Here’s a breakdown of the situation:
- Background: In 2019, the previous Kano government created new emirates, reducing the power of the Kano Emirate led by Muhammadu Sanusi II. Sanusi was later dethroned.
- Current Situation: The new Kano government under Governor Yusuf:
- Repealed the law creating new emirates.
- Reinstated Sanusi II (16th Emir).
- Awaits service of a court order supposedly restraining these actions.
- Kano State’s Claims:
- They weren’t served the court order and acted based on what they knew.
- Security forces received “matching orders from above” to enforce the (unserved) court order, implying political influence.
- Supporters of the dethroned Emir, Aminu Ado Bayero (15th Emir), are being used to cause unrest.
- They accuse the APC (opposing party) of sponsoring protests.
- Kano State’s Requests:
- President Tinubu investigate the situation.
- Evacuate Aminu Ado Bayero from Kano for security reasons.
- Apology to National Security Advisor for accusing them of involvement.
Key Points:
- This is a power struggle between the Kano government and potentially the federal government, with each accusing the other of political maneuvering.
- There are conflicting reports about a court order and who was served.
- Security is a concern, with accusations of potential unrest.
