The Executive Governor of Kano State, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has disclosed that the four new emirates created by his administration have come to stay.
During his speech at the Workers’ Day celebrations on Monday 1st May 2023 held at Sani Abacha Stadium, Kano, the governor said God will not bring anybody that will destroy the creation of the four new emirates.
Ganduje said the four new emirates are a symbol of unity, progress, and the well-being of the people.
“Any of you that visits the headquarters of these new emirates will believe me that we have brought development to these places. These emirates were created for unity, progress, history, and also for the recovery of the reputation of the traditional institutions. We created them to honor the people of these regions.”
“I want to assure you that these emirates are permanent, they have come to stay. And anybody that will destroy them, God Almighty will not bring him to Kano state. We assure you that these emirates were created because of you, because of your progress.
“Even if we are not in government, we are praying and we will keep praying for God to protect these emirates from all evils. I thank you all,” the governor concluded.
It was recalled that the Ganduje split the Kano emirates into five and subsequently dethroned the then Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi.
In a viral video that circulated the social media last week, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, leader of the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP), said the incoming administration of Engr Abba Kabir Yusuf, would review the dethronement of the former Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi and balkanisation of the emirate.
