Buba Galadima, a chieftain of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), has asked the federal government and President Bola Tinubu to stay away from Kano state politics.
There is currently a controversy in the state over the
reinstatement of Muhammadu Sanusi as 16th Emir of Kano following the signing of
the new Kano Emirate Council Law and deposition of Aminu Bayero.
Speaking in an interview with Arise Television, on Monday,
Galadima said Tinubu should be mindful of his intervention in the state
politics because it will “destroy his presidency”.
Galadima said if Boko Haram can hold Nigeria ransom in the
last 13 to 14 years, Tinubu will not be able to withstand the issue that will
come from Kano if he interferes in the state politics.
“I want to tell the
federal government, including my friend, President Bola Tinubu, that he should
be mindful of Kano politics, it will destroy his presidency,” he said.
“They never agree on any issue and I have an inherent
knowledge of how we dealt with the issue of Kano politics during the NPN when I
was the youth leader.
“I know some very powerful politicians in Kano, including
some rich men who came to meet the president, that they should remove Abba
Yusuf and nothing will happen.
”The man I know should be smarter than what he is by telling
that nothing will happen and ask them that how did it happen that you didn’t win
election in the first place.
“If Boko Haram can hold the Nigerian nation to ramson for
the last 13 to 14 years, they should be careful with Kano. We have come of age
in Kano and I am not threatening anyone. That is all I can say.”
