There are growing concerns that the monarchical structure of Kano state might have a new look in a couple of weeks. This assertion was echoed by the Rakidu Development Association, which further fuels the rumour, and again, the name of the former Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, has resurfaced in this new speculation.

Rakidu Development Association in Kano state has urged the government of Abba Kabir Yusuf not to dissolve additional emirate councils. As reported by The Guardian, addressing journalists in Kano on Wednesday, February 14, the leader of the group, Wali Rano, said the dissolution will compound the challenges faced by the Emirates.
It, therefore, expressed concern regarding an alleged scheme to amend the local government and chieftaincy affairs law in Kano state in a manner beneficial to the deposed Emir Sanusi Lamido Sanusi.
Rano said, “In the exercise of our collective freedom of expression, we organized this conference to emphasize our position on the sustainability of our emirates.” “We should make it clear that sustaining these emirates has the aspiration of the vast majority of our area.”
It added, “We are very sure that Governor Yusuf will, no doubt, not listen to those people calling for the dissolution of our emirates because people from our emirates voted for him and did not listen to his opponents whose campaign was not to elect him.”
In a similar vein, Legit.ng reported that the Centre for Africa Liberation and Socio-Economic Rights (CALSER) expressed concern regarding an alleged scheme to amend the local government and chieftaincy affairs law in Kano state in a manner beneficial to the deposed Emir Sanusi Lamido Sanusi.
