Outgoing Kano State Governor Abdullahi Ganduje and his successor-in-waiting Abba Yusuf may be set for a clash over the new emirates created by the state government.

The governor insisted yesterday that the four new emirates created by his administration have come to stay.

He spoke during the Workers’ Day anniversary at Sani Abacha Stadium, Kano.

His position came few days after the leader of the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP), Rabiu Kwankwaso, vowed that the incoming administration would review the balkanisation of the Kano emirate.

Ganduje, whose government split the Kano emirates into five and dethroned the then Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi, described the four new emirates as symbols of unity, progress and the well-being of the people.

He argued that the emirates were created to honour the people of the regions and recover the reputation of the traditional institutions.

“Any of you that visits the headquarters of these new emirates will believe me that we have brought development to these places. We created them to honor the people of these regions,” Ganduje said.

He further assured the people of Kano that the emirates were permanent and had come to stay, adding that anyone who attempts to destroy them will not be brought to Kano State by God Almighty.
