Kano, Nigeria – The Arewa Truth and Justice Initiative has exposed Kano State Governor, Abba Yusuf, for his controversial decision to abolish the five emirates in the state and reinstate former Emir Muhammadu Sanusi II.

The group, in a statement signed by comrade coordinator Momoh Idoko and made available to Legitime.ngsaid Governor Yusuf took this decision to divert attention from his alleged failures in office.

Idoko also accused Governor Yusuf of neglecting his duties, choosing instead to pursue vendettas and rely on “shenanigans” to cover up his failures during the year he spent in power.

The group also criticized the governor's decision to demolish shops, businesses and homes, adding that he had failed to address the state's challenges in education, development, economy, security and other areas.

“In a desperate attempt to cover up his failures on the day of reckoning, his year in power, Governor Yusuf has decided to distract the people of Kano with the purported abolition of the five emirates of the state. We commend the people of Kano for not not falling for trickery and rejecting the alleged impeachment of substantial Emir Ado Bayero,” the statement read in part.

According to the group, a recent performance assessment of all governors sworn in on May 29, 2023 showed that Governor Yusuf of Kano State is rated very poor.

Kano: the Group calls for good governance

Meanwhile, the group urged Governor Yusuf to retrace his steps and focus on good governance for the people of Kano State rather than relying on distractions.

The group commended the people of Kano for rejecting the purported impeachment of Emir Ado Bayero and called on the governor to redefine his agenda and prioritize the needs of the state.

“We urge Governor Yusuf to stop playing games and focus on good governance for the people of Kano State. There is need for him to rethink and properly set his agenda for the next three years that he will pass as governor of Kano State.

Because from all indications, it appears he is not well prepared. The people of Kano deserve better and the governor must stand up and focus on discharging his duties rather than embarking on a senseless vendetta and relying on shenanigans to cover up his failures,” Comrade Idoko said.

Kano elders urge Governor Yusuf to reinstate sacked emirs

In another report, elders of Kano South Senatorial Zone, home to Rano, Gaya and Karaye, urged Governor Yusuf to immediately restore the abolished emirates and sacked emirs.

The 103 stakeholders from the three emirates called on the Governor and the State Assembly to reinstate the sacked Emirs to avoid marginalization and blocking of development and progress in the communities.
