The Kano State Government has stated that the ongoing problems related to the Emirate tussle will soon be settled in a friendly manner.

Ibrahim Waiya, the Commissioner for Information and Internal Affairs, revealed this during a press briefing on Thursday in Kano.

Waiya assured the residents that effective measures had already been implemented to bring about enduring peace and stability in the state.

He stated that the state government was dedicated to engaging in dialogue with all stakeholders, emphasizing that the administration was resolute in preventing the emirate issue from causing further tension or endangering governance.

He believes that the government’s approach is guided by respect for the rule of law, traditional institutions, and the collective interests of the people of Kano State.

Regarding Governor Abba Yusuf’s recent switch to the All Progressives Congress (APC), the commissioner characterized it as a development that would yield substantial benefits for the state.

He mentioned that residents of Kano should look forward to greater dividends of democracy, emphasizing that a closer alignment with the Federal Government would bring more interventions, projects, and development initiatives to the state.

“The defection opens more doors for Kano. With stronger collaboration with the Federal Government, we expect more support in critical sectors such as infrastructure, health, education, and social welfare,” Waiya said.

When asked about the political future of the deputy governor, who has not followed the governor in defection, the commissioner remarked that Yusuf’s choice is still a personal matter.

He clarified that the decision to keep working with the governor under the new political arrangement or to take a different route was completely in the hands of the deputy governor.

Waiya stressed the state government’s commitment to governance, unity, and development, calling on Kano residents to stay calm and supportive as efforts progressed to address unresolved issues and advance the state.

He reiterated the administration’s dedication to transparency, peace, and inclusive governance, assuring that the interests of the people of Kano would always be of utmost importance.
