From Desmond Mgboh, Kano
The Kano State Governor, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, yesterday, expressed optimism over the survival of the new emirate councils in the state, insisting that God would not allow anybody to destroy them.
He made the remark while speaking at the 2023 Workers’ Day celebrations, which took place at the Sani Abacha Stadium, Kofar Mata, Kano.
Ganduje held that the new emirates had come to stay while describing them as symbols of unity, progress and even development across the state.
He said: “Anybody who visits the headquarters of the new emirates today 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 honour the people of these regions,” he stated.
“I want to assure you that these emirates are permanent; they have come to stay. And, anybody who 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 leader of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) had hinted at the fact that the incoming administration would revisit the deposition of the former emir of Kano, Muhammad Sanusi 11, and the establishment of the four emirate councils in the state.
