Gwarzo during an interview with newsmen after accompanying the reinstated Emir, HRH Muhammadu Sanusi II, to ascend the Kano Emirate palace throne on Saturday alleged that the former governor conspired with the National Security Adviser (NSA) to provide an aircraft to convey the former Emir back to Kano and to assume his seat in the palace.
The Kano State Deputy Governor, Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo, has accused former governor of Kano State, Abdullahi Ganduje of deploying the "federal might" to impose the deposed Emir of Kano, Aminu Bayero, on people of the state.
Gwarzo during an interview with newsmen after accompanying the reinstated Emir, HRH Muhammadu Sanusi II, to ascend the Kano Emirate palace throne on Saturday alleged that the former governor conspired with the National Security Adviser (NSA) to provide an aircraft to convey the former Emir back to Kano and to assume his seat in the palace.
According to him, “Ganduje is using the Federal might and conniving with the NSA to impose Bayero against the wish of people of Kano.
“We (the Governor, Speaker and other govt officials) have escorted the new Emir, HRH Muhammadu Sanusi II to ascend the throne at the palace. We are here and we got information that NSA has given two aircraft to convey the Emir back to Kano and to return to the palace. And that they should apply force.
"We will not accept this as a government and the people of Kano, nobody will impose anything of his interest on us.
“It is the law that empowers the Governor, the Kano State House of Assembly, Local Government on matters of traditional institutions and not anybody.
“We are ready and will do everything within our power to resist this attempt.
“We call on people of Kano to remain calm and go about their businesses,” the Deputy Governor, Gwarzo said.
The deposed Emir, Aminu Ado Bayero arrived in the state around 1am at midnight in two aircraft and currently at the Nassarawa palace, a section provided as a guest house of the Emir.
Heavy security and military personnel as backup had been deployed for the deposed Emir just as supporters were seen hanging around the vicinity.
