Kano Emirates virus must not infect Sultanate – Shehu Sani

Former federal lawmaker, Shehu Sani has warned Governor Ahmad Aliyu of Sokoto State not to allow the viruses that infected the Kano emirate to infect the Sultanate.

Sani’s comments followed alleged rumours of a crisis between the Sultanate and the Kano State Governor.

The Muslim Rights Concern, MURIC, had alleged that Governor Aliyu was planning to depose the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar III.

MURIC’s allegations came in reaction to the controversy and tension over the deposition of some monarchs in Kano State.

But in his X handle on Monday, Sani said the Sultanate is not only owned by the people of Sokoto State but has many stakeholders.

“Even though it’s a subject of speculation or conjecture, I appeal to the Governor of Sokoto State not to allow the viruses that infected the Kano emirate to infect the Sultanate.

“That Sultanate doesn’t belong to the people of Sokoto alone. We are stakeholders,” he said.
