Kano State Governor, Abba Yusuf, has disclosed that some unpatriotic politicians encouraged the deposed Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado Bayero, to fight back after his dethronedment.
Naija News reports that Yusuf made this known through his Chief Press Secretary, Sanusi Bature, stressing that the unpatriotic politicians are behind the court case challenging his deposition by the Kano State Government.
Recall that Governor Yusuf had dethroned Aminu Bayero and reinstated Sanusi as the Emir of Kano. This development followed the decision of the state Assembly to repeal the 2019 Kano Emirate law.
In an interview on Arise TV on Wednesday, Bature described Bayero’s fight to upturn his dethronement as unnecessary, noting that Sanusi did not fight back when he was deposed in 2019.
He said: “We wanted him to vacate the palace because it’s used as a guest house and a graveyard, we want it renovated quickly so that it can serve its purpose. When the governor reinstated the Emir and had given 48 hours for all the other emirs to vacate their palaces.
“Ado Bayero in his own wisdom decided to remove his family and everything belonging to him from the palace. When I was there, the place was so empty when Sanusi entered.
“But some unpatriotic politicians from and outside Kano decided to ignite him to come back to Kano and strike a fight which is unnecessary. Some of the unpatriotic politicians are behind the filing of the court case, like it or not, there is politics here.
“Emir Aminu Ado Bayero was appointed after the dethronement of Sanusi but why didn’t Sanusi fight back at that time?”
