Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf’s spokesman, Sunusi Bature, on Saturday, vowed that the ongoing emirate tussle will be a fight to the finish.
Bature stated this while speaking on an Arise TV programme.
The Governor’s spokesman who acknowledged the 15th Emir as a well respected person who is entitled to privileges as an indigene of the state, said Bayero’s actions were at variance with his personality.
According to him, “Aminu Bayero is an indigene of Kano, well respected and we don’t want anything to happen to him. He is not under any pressure to leave the state. As a very important personality, he has the right to move anywhere.
“The police have taken side at the moment and they seem not to be taking orders from the Governor.
“First of all, when Aminu arrived at midnight at a time when he and his family vacated the main palace, they took all their belongings from the main palace but he was convinced by some unpatriotic politicians to return to Kano and give a fight.
“For us, it’s a fight to the finish because the Governor has the right to dethrone Emir, to reappoint Emir, to appoint a new emir or reinstate. He has the constitutional right and nobody can take that from him. Even if it will take us 100 years the governor has that exclusive right to depose or appoint a new emir.”
