A group, Society for Peace Development and Education, has described a letter to the Kano State House of Assembly by “Yar Dangwalen Jihar Kano” for the dissolution of the newly created emirates, and reinstatement of Muhammadu Sanusi as Emir, as politically motivated and could sparke crisis in the state.
“Yar Dangwalen Jihar Kano” on February 5, 2024 wrote the Assembly for the dissolution of Karaye, Gaya, Bichi, and Rano Emirates, which were created by the Abdullahi Ganduje administration, after the detbronement of Sanusi.
However, in a letter addressed to the Speaker of the Assembly, dated February 8th, 2024, and sighted by SOLACEBASE, the Society for Peace Development and Education warned that the move would rather create more chaos.

The letter, titled Rejoinder: Request to dissolve Emirs of Kano State and reinstate HRH San’si Lamido Sanusi”, was signed by the group’s Secretary General, Mùrtala Lisa.
The group described “Yar Dangwalen Jihar Kano” as a fictitious organization, adding that the Assembly, doing its bidding would not foster unity and cohesion among the citizens of the state.
“Because since the creation of the Emirates, people of the five Emirates are living with one another peacefully without any known problem whatsoever.
“This is because it is a well-known historical fact that, these Emirates were in existence before being merged by the colonial and through rival wars among different entities before the advent of the colonial rulers.
“So, their creation was just a remaking of the history which is in the best interest of the people of the areas in particular and the State.
“And by the way what offence would you charge Emir Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero of committing, to warrant his removal.
“We, therefore, call on all peace-loving people of Kano and beyond, to as a matter of urgency in the interest of peace and stability, call those behind this unguided agitation to order, because it will do no one good at the end.
“We already know that the request was politically motivated and are aware of those behind it, so, let us warn those behind the scene politicians that, this will not do any good to them or their political ambitions now and in the future.’’
“We finally, want to use this medium to call on His Excellency Abba Kabir Yusuf, the Governor of Kano State and The Right Honourable Speaker of Kano State Assembly and relevant security organizations to as a matter of urgency for the sake of peace and stability of Kano to call on these disgruntled politicians,” the letter reads.
