In a recent statement, Hashim Dungurawa, the chairman of the ruling New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) in Kano State, has made allegations against President Bola Tinubu, as reported by Leadership. Dungurawa claimed that Tinubu was destabilizing Kano State by trying to impose the 15th Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado Bayero, on the Emirate......See Full Story>>.....See Full Story>>
He suggested this was because both Tinubu and Bayero share a Yoruba background.
Dungurawa made these statements on Sunday while addressing journalists in Kano.
He highlighted the achievements of the NNPP in the state over the past year.
According to Dungurawa, there was no justification for giving Emir Bayero special protection from the Nigerian Army, Police, DSS, and other security agencies against the state government’s interests.
He warned that President Tinubu’s alleged interference in the Kano Emirate issue would backfire in the 2027 elections.
He appealed to the President to resolve the Kano Emirate issue by ensuring the deposed Emir was removed from Kano.
The NNPP state chairman stated that his party would field Dr. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso as its presidential candidate in the 2027 election.
He assured that Kwankwaso would be the next president of Nigeria.
Dungurawa also called for a review of the 2019 election outcomes.
He insisted that the immediate past governor of Kano State and APC national chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje, did not legitimately win his second term as Kano State governor.
“Your perceived stance on the ongoing Kano Emirate Tussle would surely work against you in 2027 because if you think you can use it to gain ground in Kano when the chips are down you will realise your mistakes.”
“If the President thinks he will use a few of his kinsmen in Kano and the alleged Bayero’s Yoruba lineage to continue to keep the deposed Emir Aminu Ado Bayero in the State, let him wait for 2027, we will show him that those people will not help him,” Dungurawa stated
