The former governor blamed politicians for the issue and expressed hope that it will be addressed quickly while appearing on Channels TV’s Politics Today.

He said, “I am a very senior member of the emirate council and apart from that I governed the state.

“So, I am a very senior citizen of the state. The day the matter went to court, I say I will not discuss or interfere no matter what.

“This bothers me. I am from Kano. I want everything in Kano to be peaceful. We are waiting and my prayer is that we overcome it soonest.

“There will be peace. We need the traditional institution. I will not go into that because I belong to the institution.

“It was the political angle that seemed to have led us into this crisis. If the politicians had kept away from all of this and of course the traditional institution if properly engaged, I don’t see any disagreement.

“The traditional institutions are leading in their own right in society. The governor or any government appointee is a leader. There has to be this synergy of understanding.
