The Centre for Africa Liberation and Socio-Economic Rights (CALSER) has raised concerns about alleged plans to reinstate the former Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi. There are fears that the monarchical structure of Kano state might undergo a significant change in the coming days. This speculation has sparked a lot of interest and discussion, with many questioning the potential impact on the state’s stability.
During a press briefing on Wednesday, February 14, CALSER alleged that there were attempts to amend the local government and chieftaincy affairs law in Kano state. The organization expressed worry that these changes were aimed at benefiting the deposed Emir Sanusi Lamido Sanusi. According to the Centre, certain individuals were using illicit tactics to push through this amendment, disregarding the potential consequences for the state.
Dr. Amodu Ben, the executive director of CALSER, spoke out against the alleged scheme and pointed fingers at certain individuals within the state assembly. He claimed that these individuals were being tempted and pressured to support the risky scheme. Ben also made allegations against Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, suggesting that the ultimate goal was to have him approve this contentious amendment and promptly reinstall Sanusi.
The Centre emphasized the potential dangers of mixing politics and the traditional institution, warning that this could lead to the destruction of an institution that has provided stability in the region for many years. They urged Governor Yusuf to reconsider his position and back off from the move to reinstate Sanusi, in order to avoid chaos and a crisis in the state.
In response to the situation, the All Progressives Congress (APC) has cautioned against dissolving the four recently established Emirates in Kano. The party expressed concern that dismantling the existing Emirate structure could disrupt the peace in the state. Alhaji Ahmad Aruwa, the APC Publicity Secretary in Kano, dismissed concerns from the ruling party, likening them to a fictional story.
The speculation around the potential reinstatement of Sanusi Lamido Sanusi as the Emir of Kano has caused a lot of uncertainty and apprehension among the people. There are fears about the impact of such a move on the state’s stability and peace. The Centre for Africa Liberation and Socio-Economic Rights, as well as the APC, have both weighed in on the situation, expressing their concerns and cautioning against actions that could lead to instability and chaos in the state.
Overall, the situation in Kano state remains tense, with growing concerns about the potential reinstatement of Sanusi Lamido Sanusi as the Emir. The coming days will be critical in determining the outcome of this speculation and its impact on the state’s monarchical structure and stability.
