Sunusi Bature, speaking on behalf of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano State, said in a recent interview on Arise TV that the ongoing turmoil within the Kano Emirate is a significant struggle. He emphasized, "The Governor has the constitutional authority to depose, reinstate, or appoint an Emir. This is our stance amidst the current tensions exacerbated by political interference."
Acknowledging Aminu Bayero's respected status in Kano, Bature criticized his return to the state, stating, "His decision came under pressure from certain politicians, which has only escalated tensions. This situation is further complicated by what appears to be biased behavior from the police."
Bature reiterated, "Governor Yusuf stands firm on his exclusive right to manage the Emirate's leadership, regardless of external pressures or legal challenges." He stressed the seriousness of the conflict, affirming the governor's commitment amid ongoing disputes and legal uncertainties.
In conclusion, Bature underscored Governor Yusuf's dedication to upholding constitutional mandates in handling the Emirate's affairs, navigating through complex political and legal landscapes.
