Opposition Lawmakers to FG: Don’t destabilise Kano, allow Emir Sanusi reign peacefully
A coalition of opposition federal lawmakers under the G-60 platform, which includes PDP, LP, and NNPP members, has called on the Federal Government to allow the reinstated Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, to reign peacefully without interference.
The G-60 stressed that the Federal Government should avoid destabilising the already fragile North-western state by meddling in the chieftaincy affairs of the Kano Emirate, which falls under the jurisdiction of the Kano State Government.
In a statement issued after a closed-door meeting of the Opposition Coalition’s Central Steering Committee, the lawmakers expressed their full support for the Kano State Government’s decision to reinstate Emir Sanusi, condemning his previous removal and banishment as an attack on the traditional institution.

The statement, jointly signed by Hon. Obi Aguocha (LP) and Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere (PDP), reads:
“We members of the G-60 Opposition Coalition met, examined, and deliberated on the developments in Kano State regarding the reinstatement of Emir Sanusi Lamido Sanusi. We resolved that the Federal Government should not destabilise Kano State and should allow Emir Sanusi to reign peacefully, as interference in state chieftaincy affairs is beyond its constitutional authority.”
They also addressed concerns about federal security involvement in the return of Bayero to the palace, urging a cautious approach and further investigation.
