Stakeholders from the Kano South geopolitical district, comprising Gaya, Rano, and Karaye emirates, have called on Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf to urgently reinstate their emirs.

Speaking at a press conference in Kano, the group’s spokesperson, Hon. Musa Salisu, highlighted the historical significance and the developmental role of the three new emirates in Kano South, which were abolished by Governor Yusuf. Salisu noted that the absence of tertiary healthcare and educational institutions had previously stunted human progress and development in these emirates.
“Before their first restoration and creation, the absence of tertiary healthcare and educational institutions in these emirates had stalled human progress and development,” Salisu stated. He emphasized that the emirates’ administrative control had hindered their progress due to marginalization, concentrating social amenities and law enforcement resources in Kano city alone.
The stakeholders expressed their disappointment with the State Assembly’s decision to amend the emirate law and Governor Yusuf’s swift assent, viewing it as a major setback. “This move not only stripped us of our heritage and potential for growth but also threatened to reverse the positive trajectory that had been set in motion by the previous administration,” Salisu added.
The stakeholders praised the former Governor Umar Ganduje’s efforts in upgrading the new emirates, which they claim led to significant urban and infrastructural development. “The actions taken by the previous administration, based on extensive consultations and due process, reflect a commitment to the well-being and progress of the emirates,” Salisu emphasized.
They called the removal of their emirs an injustice that must be corrected and thanked the judiciary and security agencies for their intervention that temporarily halted the regressive legislation.
