Tension mounts as Kwankwaso hints at Sanusi’s return to Kano palace…
Written by City Radio on January 19, 2024
There is another apprehension in the air as former Governor of Kano State and the leader of the Kwankwasiyya movement, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, declared that the creation of the five emirates councils will “definitely be revisited”.
Immediate past governor, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, had split the Kano emirate into five after he dethroned the 14th Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II.
Although the ruling New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) has been silent over the reversal of Ganduje’s action, the presidential candidate of the NNPP insisted the removal of the former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) was carried out in bad blood.
The resurgence of the call for removal of the five first class monarchs including the two sons of the late Emir. Alh. Ado Bayero dominated public discussions immediately after the verdict of the Supreme Court that affirmed the election of Abba Yusuf as Kano governor.
Kwankwaso in an interactive session on Thursday evening said the NNPP government will revisit the entire matter, to correct the wrongs.
