Kano State Government has assured residents that the ongoing tussle surrounding the emirate will soon be resolved amicably.
The Commissioner for Information and Internal Affairs, Ibrahim Waiya, disclosed this on Thursday while speaking to newsmen in Kano.
Mr. Waiya said the state government had put concrete measures in place to restore lasting peace and stability in the state.
He emphasised that the administration was committed to engaging all stakeholders in dialogue, stressing that the matter would not be allowed to generate tension or hinder governance.
“Our approach is guided by respect for the rule of law, traditional institutions, and the collective interests of the people of Kano State,” he said.
On the recent defection of Governor Abba Yusuf to the All Progressives Congress (APC), the commissioner described the move as a development that would bring significant benefits to the state.
“The defection opens more doors for Kano. With stronger collaboration with the Federal Government, we expect more support in critical sectors such as infrastructure, health, education, and social welfare,” Mr. Waiya said, noting that residents should expect increased dividends of democracy.
Regarding the political future of the Deputy Governor, who has not defected alongside the governor, Mr. Waiya said the decision remained personal.
“It is entirely up to the deputy governor to decide whether to continue working with the governor within the new political arrangement or choose a different path,” he added.
The commissioner urged Kano residents to remain calm and supportive, emphasising that the government remained focused on unity, development, and good governance.
He reaffirmed the administration’s commitment to transparency, peace, and inclusive governance, assuring that the interests of the people of Kano would always remain paramount.
