Emirate crisis: Kano gov meets Ribadu, Sanusi makes first appointment
The Kano State Governor, Abba Yusuf, on Thursday, met with the National Security Adviser, Malam Nuhu Ribadu, at the Office of the NSA in Abuja.
The meeting, which lasted for more than an hour, was prompted by the recent happenings in Kano, following the dissolution of five emirates by the state House of Assembly, through the repeal of the state emirate law, and the subsequent restoration of Muhammad Sanusi as the Emir of Kano.
Notwithstanding, the emirate crisis, Sunusi, on Thursday, approved the appointment of Hamisu Sani as the new Ward Head for Kofar Mazugal, Dala Local Government area of the state.
The 16th Emir of Kano called on the new ward head to ensure peaceful coexistence among his subjects in the area and contribute his quota towards the development of the state as a whole.
District heads and other prominent personalities, such as delegations from religious and market bodies, have continued to pay homage to Sanusi, shunning the deposed Emir Ado Bayero.
The delegation includes the Ansarulddeen Tijjanniya sect and traders from both the popular Kantin Kwari textile market and the Singer market in the ancient city.
At the height of the crisis in Kano, the Deputy Governor, Aminu Gwarzo, had accused Ribadu of allegedly facilitating the return of the Ado Bayero, the dethroned Emir of Kano, to the palace by providing him with two private jets.
MAGIC FM reports that after Ribadu threatened a lawsuit and demanded immediate public apology, Gwarzo apologised, saying “We were misled.”
A statement on Thursday by the spokesperson for the governor, Dawakin Tofa, said Yusuf met with the NSA in Abuja and they both discussed state and national issues.
“The two political leaders deliberated on various matters relating to state/national development and the peaceful coexistence of the nation during their discussions in Abuja.
“It is significant to mention that the NSA had been accused of involvement in the Kano crisis for allowing a substantial military presence to protect the removed Emir Aminu Ado Bayero, a position swiftly discredited by the Office of the National Security Adviser.
