Kano State Government has called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to order the removal of Emir Aminu Ado Bayero from the Nasarawa Palace in Kano.
Speaking at the Kano Government House during the distribution of relief materials provided by Tarauni Federal Constituency Representative, Hon. Kabiru Dahiru Sule, the Deputy Governor, Comrade Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo, reiterated the administration’s stance, calling on the president to intervene.
Comrade Gwarzo alleged that certain individuals were exploiting the Emir’s continued presence in Nasarawa Palace to fuel unrest across the state.
He cited the need to restore peace and stability.
According to him, 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.
The Deputy Governor called on the President to remove the Emir he appointed and take him to his own state.
Comrade Gwarzo pointed out that Kano already has an Emir and that’s Muhammadu Sanusi II.
He asserted that keeping Emir Aminu Ado Bayero in Nasarawa palace is a deliberate attempt to destabilize the Kano State Government and hinder its ability to govern effectively.
The Deputy Governor acknowledged the recent protests by Kano residents and emphasized that peaceful demonstrations are a fundamental right in a democratic society.
He condemned the security forces’ actions in dispersing protesters and arresting some of them and insisted that the people of Kano have the right to demand the removal of Emir Bayero.
Comrade Gwarzo reiterated the state government’s demand for President Tinubu to act swiftly in removing Emir Bayero.
Kano State Government emphasized that the law facilitated the appointment of the Former Emir, and the same law has now reinstated Muhammadu Sanusi II.
Comrade Gwarzo therefore noted that the rule of law must be upheld and allowed to take its course.
