Kwankwaso Drops Bombshell: Shocking Revelation on Kano Emirates’ Fate

Former Kano State Governor and leader of the Kwankwasiyya movement, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has declared that the contentious issue of Kano emirates will be revisited. The emirate had been divided into five by former Governor Abdullahi Ganduje, leading to the dethronement of Emir Muhammadu Sanusi. Kwankwaso, in an interview with select radio stations in Kano, affirmed the need to address the emirate’s situation and determine whether it should be allowed, demolished, or corrected.

The Supreme Court’s validation of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf’s victory has reignited calls for Sanusi’s reinstatement. While Sanusi has not directly commented on his potential return, he accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano of attempting to seize power through the courts. Sanusi, a former Central Bank governor, emphasized the importance of accepting destiny, stating that the attempted power grab through the judiciary was a shared injustice against the electorate.

Kwankwaso revealed that the issue had not been formally discussed with him yet but assured that the matter would be thoroughly examined. He acknowledged that the initial actions regarding the emirates were driven by intentions that were not in good faith. Meanwhile, the political landscape in Kano remains tense, with the Kwankwasiyya movement hinting at a potential overhaul of the emirate system and a push for Sanusi’s reinstatement.

As the political saga unfolds, Sanusi’s cryptic remarks on God’s intervention and the alleged power play by the APC underscore the complexity of Kano’s political landscape. The Supreme Court’s decision has not only validated Governor Yusuf’s victory but has also brought to the forefront the ongoing battle for control and influence within the Kano emirate, leaving the fate of its structure and leadership uncertain.
