The Emir of Ningiwarned that the feud can destroy the traditional institution in the north
The Emir of Ningi in Bauchi State, Yunusa Danyaya, has implored President Muhammadu Buhari to intervene in the raging dispute between Kano State Governor Abdullahi Ganduje and Kano Emir, Muhammadu Sanusi.Mr Ganduje had sponsored legislation that empowers him to create four new emirates in the state and appointed first-class emirs for them. The new law ended the status of the Emir of Kano as the only first-class emir and permanent chairman of the state’s traditional council.
He said many attempts by prominent Nigerians to reconcile the two foremost leaders in Kano had yielded little or no positive outcome. “Buhari has proven to me to be a person who has high respect and regard for the traditional institution. It is because of that, that I am begging him, to please, in the name of God, to intervene in the problem happening in Kano and settle this dispute between the emir and the governor.
He added that the actions of the Kano state government against the Emir of Kano were humiliating enough, so he should be spared of ridicule due to his ranking position as one of the foremost emirs of Northern Nigeria.
