Kano state governor, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has said that the four new emirates created by his administration have come to stay.

Speaking during the Workers’ Day celebrations held at Sani Abacha Stadium, Kano, Ganduje said God will not bring any body that will destroy them.

The governor had split the Kano emirates into five and subsequently dethroned the then Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi.

But in a viral video last week, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, leader of the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP), said the incoming government of Engr Abba Kabir Yusuf, would review the dethronement and balkanisation of the emirate.

However, while concluding his speech at the Workers’ Day celebration, Ganduje said the four new emirates are a symbol of unity, progress and well-being of the people.


“Any of you that visits the headquarters of these new emirates will believe me that we have brought development to these places. These emirates were created for unity, progress, history, and also for the recovery of the reputation of the traditional institutions. We created them to honor the people of these regions.”


“I want to assure you that these emirates are permanent, they have come to stay. And anybody that will destroy them, God Almighty will not bring him to Kano state. We assure you that these emirates were created because of you, because of your progress.

“Even if we are not in government, we are praying and we will keep praying for God to protect these emirates from all evils. I thank you all,” Ganduje said

Dr. Sanusi knows better than being a 'guinea pig' in the hands of politicians. The new multiple emirates are better than having one emirate with just one overdressed man overseeing an unnecessarily large emirate.

NothingDoMe:
Having four overdressed men is not necessarily better than one overdressed man but who's counting.

festacman:


Four overdressed men would attend to more issues than one overdressed man was doing. Besides, the multi emirates are nearer to the people and therefore they don't have to spend much money and time to have to travel to present matters arising at the palaces.

Is ganduje afraid or what

BRIMBRAM:


How do you mean?

OneCandleAway:


The givt pays the emir. So it's better to pay 1 than pay 4 people.

By the way which issues are they addressing, with all the poverty in the state. I can give you a south west king addressing issues better than the north

NothingDoMe:
As if Ganduje added the 4 overdressed men for ease of administration and not for political reasons.

No matter how you look at it, the incoming can undo Ganduje's handwork. Especially if that's what the people actually want. The return of a single overdressed man. The return of Sansusi.

festacman:


They do a lot along with their district heads and you will never appreciate unless you are a northerner.

Hpesoj:


Unfortunately, the government will have to spend more to maintain the four overdressed men. Nigeria's revenue has continue to decline over time, the balkanisation of the Emirates, though may make political sense, is uneconomical.
