Kano State Government has said that the renewal of a vow by the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) gubernatorial candidate, Kano State, Abba Kabir Yusuf to sack the new emirates if elected, will mean that he has to deal with the law establishing the new emirates and the popular decision of the people.  

The  Commissioner for Information and Internal Affairs/Spokesperson, Gawuna/Garo Campaign Council, Malam Muhammad Garba, said this  in a statement, that due process was followed through the enactment of laws by the state House of Assembly, which have to be reversed. 
“It remains to be seen how an exercise backed by relevant laws and popular support which saw the creation of new emirates and first class emirs could just be reversed overnight for political motives,” he wondered.  
Malam Garba pointed out that just as the creation of states and local government areas, the new emirates are adding value to the overall development of the state as stakeholders  as the laws establishing them have  clearly spelt out their functions. 
 The commissioner said that the creation of the new domains which was long overdue, has brought about unprecedented physical, socio-economic and  cultural development in the areas.
He added that the new emirates, which are enjoying the full support of the people, are more of injecting some semblance of people participation in their socio-economic development through traditional institution.

Malam Garba further explained that the exercise was also part of the government’s decision to support the development of mini cities to complement the emergence of Kano as a mega city.
