The Kano State Government has urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to order the removal of Emir Aminu Ado Bayero from the Nasarawa Palace in Kano, emphasizing the need to restore peace and stability.
The government claimed that some individuals were using the emir’s presence in the palace to incite unrest across the state.
Speaking at the Kano Government House during the distribution of relief materials donated by Tarauni Federal Constituency Representative, Hon. Kabiru Dahiru Sule, Deputy Governor Comrade Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo reaffirmed the administration’s position and called on the president to take action.

“We are calling on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to remove the emir he enthroned and kept in a graveyard,” Gwarzo said.
“The people of Kano, especially the youth, are tired of this nonsense. It is shocking that in a democratic setting, security forces are being deployed to fire teargas at peaceful protesters, with some reports even alleging the use of live ammunition.
“In the evening, military vehicles patrolled the city, even parking in front of my house. But we want to make it clear that there is no intimidation. This is a democracy, and democracy must be upheld, whether some people like it or not. We stand firmly with the youth who took to the streets to express their grievances.
“The president should remove the emir he appointed and take him to his own state. Kano already has an emir and that’s Muhammadu Sanusi II. Today, regardless of who you are, even if you are the ‘Emir of the World,’ you cannot appoint an emir in Kano unless you are Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf.”
Gwarzo further claimed that Emir Aminu Ado Bayero’s continued stay in the Nasarawa Palace was a calculated move to undermine the Kano State Government and disrupt its governance.
He acknowledged the recent protests by Kano residents, stressing that peaceful demonstrations are a fundamental right in a democratic society.
The deputy governor criticized the security forces for dispersing protesters and arresting some of them, insisting that the people of Kano have the right to call for Emir Bayero’s removal.
He reaffirmed the state government’s call for President Tinubu to take immediate action to remove the emir.
The Kano State Government maintained that the same legal framework that facilitated the appointment of the former emir had now reinstated Muhammadu Sanusi II.
Therefore, it insisted that the rule of law must prevail and be allowed to take its course.
