Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, the presidential candidate of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), has expressed that there will be a revisit of the issue regarding the Kano emirate. This comes after the former Kano governor, Abdullahi Ganduje split the Kano emirate into five and dethroned the then Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi. Kwankwaso made this statement following the confirmation by the Supreme Court that the NNPP would govern Kano until 2027. This has sparked talks about the possible return of Sanusi as the Emir of Kano.
Kwankwaso, who is a prominent politician in Kano State, has stated that the removal of Sanusi as the Emir of Kano would most likely be looked into by the current administration of Abba Kabir Yusuf, who is considered to be Kwankwaso’s protégé. He emphasized that the NNPP government will revisit the entire matter to correct the alleged wrongs that were done.
The possibility of Sanusi returning as Emir of Kano has been a topic of discussion following the affirmation of the NNPP’s victory by the Supreme Court. Kwankwaso, in an interview with select media platforms, mentioned that nobody had consulted with him about the matter, but assured that it will be revisited, and whatever is supposed to be done will be done.
As of now, Aminu Ado Bayero is the Emir of Kano, having ascended the throne on March 9, 2020, following the deposition of his nephew Sanusi by Ganduje. The situation remains intense and has sparked conversations about the future of the Kano emirate. It is clear that the issue of the Kano emirate will continue to be a significant topic of discussion in Kano state for the foreseeable future.
