Kano elder statesman Buba Galadima warned the president, adding that if Tinubu is not careful, the politics of the northwest state will destroy him.
According to Daily Trust, the chieftain of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) urged the federal government and President Tinubu to desist from interfering in Kano state politics.
His statement reads in part:
Galadima, who described Tinubu as his friend, said he had inherent knowledge of Kano politics and he knew how to deal with it. He maintained that parties in Kano politics never agreed on issues, as he recalled his days as the youth leader of the NPN.
He said he knew of some powerful politicians from Kano who had visited Tinubu to support them in removing Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf. He said some rich men supported the governor’s removal.
The Kano-born politician said he expected Tinubu to be smarter by asking them why they could not win the election in the state in the first place.
Galadima’s comment followed the alarm raised by the NNPP’s national leader, Rabiu Kwankwaso, who accused the Tinubu-led federal government of listening to the “enemies of Kano” on the royal tussle.
TimesNow.com.ng earlier reported that the Emir of Kano Muhammadu Sanusi II has said he would care less should another government remove him from office again.
Sanusi said he was concerned about the disruption of the emirate system, which had been preserved over 1000 years ago.
The former CBN governor expressed gratefulness to the Kano government and assembly for correcting the deeds of the past government.
