EMIR OF KANO VS GANDUJE: ‘Disrespectful’ Sanusi men make truce difficult —Sanka, governor’s adviser vanguardnews
created emirates, what informed the decision and the controversy that greeted the creation among other issues.It was calls by the people of Kano that informed the decision of the Kano State government to create the new emirates to boost growth and development of the state in the areas of the economy, security and education, especially in the area of free and compulsory education introduced in the state by the Ganduje administration.
But there is a group of Kano elders who rejected the creation of the new emirates, describing the step as an attempt by Governor Ganduje to destroy Kano Emirate. But there are speculations out there that the new emirates were created because of the alleged role the Emir of Kano, HRH Muhammadu Sanusi II, played in the 2019 general elections against the candidature of Governor Ganduje…
So also, I think the emir has high calibre of people who advise him. But we call on the emir’s advisers to give healthy advice just as we Special Advisers give the governor good advice and he receives, takes critical look and makes use of the advice. And in any case, both of them are learned persons and have good precedents. Though I don’t think in Kano we have such people that will go and begin to tell lies to someone just to get paid.
We hope they will give listening ear to our call. For instance, in Gombe, you have 15 emirates which in the past was only Gombe Emirate. Now, the Emir of Gombe has only two local governments under his watch as the Chairman of the Council. And it is one of the emirates under Fodio. And it is also Fulani and also Jihad. So, in a state like Kano that has a large population, with learned people from all walks of life, youths and politicians, there is need to bring the people closer to government.
