Tension appears to be high as the leadership of the Kano Emirate took a new twist on Saturday.
This comes as the newly appointed Emir, Muhammadu Sanusi II and the deposed Emir, Aminu Ado Bayero now lay claim to the throne.
The governor signed the bill into law in the presence of the deputy governor, Aminu Abdulsalam, Speaker, Isma’il Falgore, and the SSG, Abdullahi Bichi. According to a press statement issued early Saturday morning by Mr Sanusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, the spokesperson for the Governor, the former emir was allegedly smuggled into Kano city last night in an attempt to reclaim the palace forcefully.
“Let me also remind you that the position of the law is very clear as whoever, under whatever guise is found to be planning to disrupt the peace being enjoyed in the State or feel that he or she can jeopardize the existing security settings in the State will be arrested and made to face the full wrath of the law.
In a Saturday post on X, Atiku, the 2023 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party , warned that any attempt to destabilise the peace of Kano State would be resisted.
