A coalition of civil society organizations in Kano State, under the aegis of Save Kano Coalition, has urged the United States and other members of the international community to impose visa restrictions on Governor Abba Yusuf and members of his cabinet.
The coalition alleged that some actions by the governor in the ongoing Kano Emirate crisis has brought divisions amongst citizens in the state.
recalls that the Kano State House of Assembly in June repealed the State Emirate Council Law 2019, dissolving the five emirates in the state. The governor, after signing the bill, sacked five Emirs including Ado Bayero appointed as Emir of Kano by the former governor, Abdullahi Ganduje. After sacking Bayero, Governor Yusuf reinstated former Central Bank of Nigeria governor, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi II, who was dethroned in 2020 as Emir of Kano.
