The war between Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II and Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State has taken a fresh dimension.

The governor said; “As a son of a Village Head (Dagaci) how can I do something that would jeopardise the corporate existence of our long-standing heritage?”

“If you count my ancestors, not less than ten of them were village heads up to my biological father. So I really don’t understand when people say my government is up for harming this noble institution.”

“When I was signing the Law establishing the four additional Emirate Councils of Rano, Bichi, Karaye and Gaya, I made it categorically clear that, the aim for the new Councils is primarily to push development closer to the people at the grassroot.”

“We will come up with new and modern strategy for the development of our state. Such strategy would incorporate, at a more closer approach, our Emirate Councils. That was why we realised the need for having these Emirate Councils.”

“My administration needs to give booster to the existing traditional institution, and “through waking up the sleeping traditional institution.”
