Remove the Emir you enthroned and put in Graveyard Palace– Kano State Govt tells Tinubu’s Govt
The Kano State Government has urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to step in and remove Emir Aminu Ado Bayero from the Nasarawa Palace.
The government claimed that certain individuals were taking advantage of the emir’s continued residence in the Nasarawa Palace to incite unrest throughout the state.
During a ceremony at the Kano Government House, where relief materials from Tarauni Federal Constituency Representative, Hon. Kabiru Dahiru Sule, were being distributed, Deputy Governor Comrade Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo emphasised the administration’s position.
He reiterated the call for presidential action to address the ongoing situation and bring about calm.
“We are calling on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to remove the emir he enthroned and kept in a graveyard,” Gwarzo said.
“The people of Kano, especially the youth, are tired of this nonsense. It is shocking that in a democratic setting, security forces are being deployed to fire teargas at peaceful protesters, with some reports even alleging the use of live ammunition.
“In the evening, military vehicles patrolled the city, even parking in front of my house. But we want to make it clear that there is no intimidation. This is a democracy, and democracy must be upheld, whether some people like it or not. We stand firmly with the youth who took to the streets to express their grievances.
“The president should remove the emir he appointed and take him to his own state. Kano already has an emir and that’s Muhammadu Sanusi II. Today, regardless of who you are, even if you are the ‘Emir of the World,’ you cannot appoint an emir in Kano unless you are Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf.”
Deputy Governor Comrade Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo has accused the continued presence of Emir Aminu Ado Bayero in the Nasarawa Palace of being a deliberate attempt to destabilize the Kano State Government and obstruct its ability to govern effectively.
Gwarzo acknowledged the recent protests by Kano residents, affirming that peaceful demonstrations are a fundamental right in any democratic society.
However, he strongly condemned the actions of security forces, who dispersed the protesters and arrested some individuals. Gwarzo stressed that the people of Kano have every right to demand the removal of Emir Bayero.
Reiterating the state government’s position, Gwarzo called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to act swiftly and remove the emir.
He emphasized that the same law that facilitated Bayero’s appointment also reinstated Muhammadu Sanusi II, underscoring the importance of upholding the rule of law and allowing it to take its proper course.
