BREAKING: Kano Govt Makes Fresh Announcement Over Emir Sanusi Amid Tussle In Kano
The Kano State Government has declared that the reinstatement of the deposed Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi II, was carried out in the state’s best interests, emphasizing its commitment to peace amid recent disturbances.
In a statement on Monday, the Commissioner of Information, Baba Halilu Dantiye, addressed concerns regarding media reports on supposed violent protests following the abrogation of the four emirates and Sanusi’s reinstatement.
Dantiye stated, “Contrary to media reports, there have been no widespread violent protests in Kano State. While the government is aware of isolated incidents in few areas by a handful of small children and hired miscreants and thugs, these do not in any way reflect the overall situation.”
He continued, “It also behooves to reiterate that the decision by the administration of Abba Kabir Yusuf to legally abrogate the emirates and reinstate the 14th Emir of Kano State was made after careful consideration of the best interests of the state. The move has been welcomed by a significant portion of the populace who understands and cherishes the long-term benefits of a unified emirate structure.”
The government condemned attempts by certain political actors to exploit the situation for personal gain, stressing that their actions do not represent the sentiments of Kano’s citizens.
The statement also read, “Their actions and those of their agents are not representative of the genuine feelings of the citizens of Kano State but are instead driven by selfish ulterior motives. “The administration of Abba Kabir Yusuf remains steadfast in its commitment to maintaining peace and stability in Kano State. The government will not renege in its responsibility to take all measures to ensure that law and order are upheld and the rights of the citizens are protected,”
Furthermore, the government urged the public to disregard sensationalized media reports and support its efforts to foster unity and development in the state.
The statement concluded with a reaffirmation of the government’s dedication to the progress and prosperity of Kano State under the leadership of Abba Kabir Yusuf.
