Residents of Kano State have been reassured by the state government that the state’s ongoing emirate conflict will soon be settled. Ibrahim Waiya, the Commissioner for Information and Internal Affairs, assured reporters in Kano on Thursday that significant efforts had already been made to bring about long-lasting peace and stability.
He emphasized that the emirate issue would not be permitted to continue causing conflict or jeopardizing state government and stated that Governor Yusuf’s administration is still dedicated to communication with all relevant parties. “The state government is committed to negotiation with stakeholders, therefore the Kano emirship dispute will soon be settled amicably,” Waiya stated.
He clarified that respect for traditional institutions, the rule of law, and the interests of the Kano State people as a whole serve as the foundation for the government’s strategy. Remember that once Yusuf signed the Kano State Emirate Council (Repeal) Law 2024, Muhammadu Sañusi II was restored as the 16th Emir of Kano in May 2024, replacing Aminu Ado Bayero, the 15th Emir. The Kano State Emirates Council Law of 2019 was revoked, and the emirate councils established by the previous government were dissolved.
Speaking on the recent defection of Yusuf to the All Progressives Congress, the commissioner described the move as one that would bring significant benefits to Kano State.
According to him, closer alignment with the Federal Government would attract more interventions, projects, and development initiatives in key sectors such as infrastructure, health, education, and social welfare.
“The defection opens more doors for Kano. With stronger collaboration with the Federal Government, residents should expect more dividends of democracy,” Waiya said.
On the political future of the deputy governor, who has not defected alongside the governor, Waiya said the decision remains a personal choice.
He emphasised that the state government remains focused on governance, unity, and development, urging residents to remain calm and supportive as efforts continue to resolve outstanding issues and move Kano forward.
The commissioner reaffirmed the administration’s commitment to transparency, peace, and inclusive governance, assuring that the interests of the Kano people will always remain paramount.
