The Kano state government has said that the renewal of avowal by the New Nigeria People’s Party Governorship candidate, Abba Yusuf to sack the new Emirates if elected, will mean that he has to deal with the law establishing the new Emirates and the popular decision of the people.
The state commissioner for information and spokesperson of Gawuna/Garo Campaign Council, Muhammad Garba, said in a statement on Tuesday, that due process was followed through the enactment of laws by the state House of Assembly, which have to be reversed.

“It remains to be seen how an exercise backed by relevant laws and popular support which saw the creation of new Emirates and First Class Emirs could just be reversed overnight for political motives,” he wondered.

Garba pointed out that just as the creation of states and local governments, the new Emirates are adding value to the overall development of the state as stakeholders as the laws establishing them have clearly spelt out their functions.
The commissioner stated that the creation of the new domains, which is long overdue, has brought about unprecedented physical, socio-economic and cultural development in the areas.

He added that the new Emirates, which are enjoying the full support of the people, are injecting some semblance of people participation in their socio-economic development through traditional institution.
Garba further explained that the exercise was also part of the government’s decision to support the development of mini cities to complement the emergence of Kano as a Mega City.
