Rabiu Kwankwaso, presidential candidate of the New Nigeria
Peoples Party (NNPP), says the incoming government in Kano will revisit the
dethronement of Muhammadu Sanusi.
Abdullahi Ganduje, outgoing governor of the state, dethroned
Sanusi, 14th emir of Kano, in 2020, over allegations of insubordination.
Aminu Bayero, son of the late Ado Bayero and emir of Bichi,
was installed as Sanusi’s replacement.
In a viral video posted on social media on Saturday, Kwankwaso said he is confident that Abba Yusuf, governor-elect of the state, would have the wisdom to resolve “challenges” in the state.
“We campaigned and we
are well-known in Nigeria, especially in Kano. What we showed the people is by
God’s grace all the good projects we started when we were in government. This
governor (Abba Kabir Yusuf) and his team will pick up from where we left off,”
Kwankwaso said.
He said the opportunity to revisit Sanusi’s dethronement has
presented itself and that he would advise the incoming government on what to do
as an elder.
“We as elders in the movement will continue to advice them
to do things that are proper,” Kwankwaso said.
“We tried not to talk
about whether the Emir would be removed or not, but now you see, the
opportunity is there.
“Those who God made leaders will now decide on the next step
and decision to take. They will review it and determine what is the right thing
to be done.
“Apart from the issue of changing the emir, the emirates
have now been divided into five. All of that will be reviewed too. When a
leader comes into power whether in a country, state or local government area,
he inherits things that are good and things that are difficult and challenging.
“We are confident God will give the governor (Abba Kabir
Yusuf) the wisdom to come and resolve the challenges planted in Kano state so
that everyone will leave peacefully in Kano state.”
