A former senator who represented Kaduna Central in the
national assembly, Shehu Sani has hinted at the cause of the rising tension at
the Kano Emir’s palace.
The tension escalated early Friday morning when police
officers in advanced gear surrounded the Emir of Kano’s palace, starting as
early as 6 a.m.
It was gathered that the situation might not be
unconnected to Emir Muhammadu Sanusi’s plans to appoint a district head for
Bichi town.
In a post via X, he stated, “In the interest of peace, there
should be serious restraint in the application of force, might, and power over
the Kano emirship tussle.”
This is not the first controversy surrounding the Kano
emirship.
Recall in May, former Emir Aminu Ado Bayero was dethroned by
Governor Abba Yusuf while he was away and replaced with the reinstatement of
the 16th Emir, Muhammadu Sanusi II, who was quickly moved to the Kofar Kudu
palace.
Bayero later returned to the state and settled at the
Nassarawa mini palace, resulting in court cases both supporting and opposing
the state government’s decision.
