The New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) presidential candidate in the 2023 election, Rabiu Kwankwaso, has explained why the Kano State Governor, Abba Yusuf, reinstated Muhammad Sanusi as Emir of Kano.
Naija News recalls that Yusuf reinstated Sanusi of Emir of Kano after dethroning Aminu Ado Bayero as the 15th Emir.
His action followed the repeal of the 2019 Kano Emirate Law by the state House of Assembly.
Featuring on Arise News Prime Time, Kwankwaso stated that Governor Yusuf reinstated Sanusi as Emir in fulfilment of his campaign promises to the people of the state.
Kwankwaso said they have no regrets about Yusuf’s decision to reinstate Sanusi.
He said, “It was a campaign issue. Don’t forget that Sanusi Lamido Sanusi was installed in 2014 by our government.
“My Deputy who became governor decided in his wisdom to divide Kano into five emirates. What many people don’t remember is that it was tried by the Rimi government during the Second Republic.
“It was our position, our belief that Kano should continue as one solid traditional institution. That was what we believed in.
“So, during our campaign, the governor went round to tell the people that if they voted for him, Kano would return to being one solid traditional institution, of course with support from the other emirates.
“That is why when he was sworn-in, he started a process of consultation.
“But for one year, the governor carried out due consultations and decided to follow due process through the State House of Assembly and Sanusi was reinstated. People voted for him for several reasons, including making Kano one strong emirate.”

A former president of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Olumide Apkata, has charged the Court of Appeal to provide a clear and cogent explanation of the causes of the embarrassing situation that occurred at the Appeal Court while delivering its ruling on the Kano governorship election tussle.
Naija News recalls that the Court of Appeal in Abuja sacked Governor Abba Yusuf, who was elected on the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP) platform.
However, there were reports that the Certified True Copy of the judgment, which was made public on Tuesday, contradicted what was read at the Court of Appeal Court last Friday.
The development had sparked outrage among Governor Yusuf’s supporters, who protested to make their grievances known to the court.
Calling on the Appeal Court to clarify the error it made in the Appeal Court ruling, Akpata wrote, “The Nigerian Judiciary is once again in the spotlight for unfortunate reasons. The recent discrepancy in the Court of Appeal’s Judgement in the Kano State gubernatorial appeal has cast an unflattering light on the Nigerian Judicial system, exposing the systemic challenges it faces.
“As the Head of the Court of Appeal @NGCourtofAppeal, it is crucial for My Lord, Hon. Justice Monica Dongban-Mensem, to provide a hopefully clear and cogent explanation of the immediate and remote causes of the embarrassing situation. This will help to address the speculations and concerns of Nigerians and the global audience.”
