Emirate Tussle: Atiku alleges FG backed return of deposed Bayero to destabilise Kano

Former Vice President and presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, has accused the Federal Government of backing the return of the deposed Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado Bayero, to the ancient city in a bid to destabilise the state.

Atiku who weighed in on the crisis rocking the Kano Emirates Council following the removal of Bayero and reinstatement of former Emir, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi by Gov. Abba Yusuf, said Bayero’s return to the ancient city with heavily armed soldiers couldn’t have been possible without the FG’s backing.

Atiku who made the allegation in a post on his official X handle on Saturday, however, warned the President Bola Tinubu-led administration that any attempt to destabilise the peace of Kano would be resisted.
