On Thursday, Kano State Governor Abba Yusuf signed the new Kano Emirate Council Law after the State House of Assembly repealed the law that had created four additional emirates in the ancient city under former Governor Abdullahi Ganduje.

Despite a federal high court in Kano ordering the state government not to enforce the new law, the former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria has since been turbaned as the 16th Emir of Kano.

Speaking with reporters during the protest on Friday, Abdullahi Saleh, leader of the Northern Nigeria Peace and Development Foundation, criticized the governor for undermining his predecessor’s legacy.

He called on President Bola Tinubu to swiftly intervene to prevent the state from descending into chaos.

“A lot has been going wrong in the state, but concerned patriots of Nigeria had thought it best to allow Kano State to sort out its thorny issues.

“However, Thursday’s brash actions of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano State, who sacked five emirs to reappoint Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi as the 16th Emir of Kano, have awoken us to the urgency of raising the alarm about the destructive excesses of the state governor.

“Since being sworn into office, Governor Abba Yusuf has exhibited a series of reckless actions that resemble a hardened criminal’s rap sheet.

“This latest stunt of sacking five emirs to install his acolyte was achieved by manipulating the Kano State House of Assembly, which he has effectively turned into a rubber stamp, endorsing his illegal acts.

“Alongside Governor Yusuf, they have taken their desperation to an extent that could set the ancient city on fire and cause widespread unrest.

“We are here today to appeal to President Tinubu to intervene in the Kano Emirate crisis,” Saleh said
