Kano Traditional Rulers Urged to Stay Neutral in Politics
The Nigerian Democracy Working Group issued a statement urging traditional rulers in Kano State to remain neutral and refrain from engaging in partisan politics. This call was prompted by allegations that the 15th Emir of Kano, Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero, participated in an anti-APC rally where posters of President Bola Tinubu and Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf were reportedly destroyed.
The group described these actions as "unfortunate and unacceptable," emphasizing the importance of maintaining political neutrality to prevent escalating tensions. They also called on security agencies to ensure the protection of lives, property, and political materials in the state.
The statement reiterated that while citizens have the right to peaceful assembly, this should not lead to property destruction or intimidation. The group concluded by affirming that Kano would remain peaceful and continue to progress under the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
