Kano Emirship Tussle Reignites as Governor Yusuf Plans Defection to APC
The planned defection of Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf to the APC has reignited concerns over the ongoing emirship tussle in Kano. The move is seen as a potential trigger for political tensions within the state, especially given the historical context of the power struggle involving Emir Muhammadu Sanusi II and Aminu Ado Bayero.
Governor Yusuf's reported meeting with political figures like Bola Tinubu has fueled speculation about the reasons behind his defection. The Kano emirship crisis dates back to 2020, with Governor Abdullahi Ganduje's actions leading to the dethronement of Sanusi and the installation of Bayero, causing deep divisions within the state.
The refusal of Bayero to vacate the throne has further escalated the situation, with legal challenges and security concerns adding to the complexity of the issue.
