The Kano State Government has raised concerns about the security risk posed by the deposed Emir of Kano, Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero. In a press conference held at the Government House, Deputy Governor Comrade Aminu Gwarzo urged immediate action to evacuate Bayero from the Nasarawa palace, where he currently resides.
Gwarzo, speaking on behalf of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, expressed alarm over the unusual movements of thugs and top members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) who appear intent on causing trouble in the state. The situation demanded urgent attention, and Gwarzo called upon President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to intervene and prevent an unnecessary crisis.
Kano State, known for its historical peace and stability, now faces political complexities. The recent abrogation of the four emirates and the reinstatement of His Highness Muhammadu Sanusi II as the Emir of Kano have sparked tensions. However, the Kano State Government refutes media reports of widespread violent protests. While isolated incidents involving small groups of miscreants have occurred, they do not reflect the overall situation.
The government emphasizes that most Kano state citizens have shown remarkable restraint and understanding. However, there are concerns that unpatriotic individuals may exploit the situation for personal gain. The state remains committed to ensuring the protection of lives and properties.
The deposed Emir Bayero’s presence in the Nasarawa palace poses a security risk, and the state government calls for swift action to address the situation. As Kano navigates its political landscape, maintaining peace remains paramount.
