The Lagos State chapter of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) applauded Governor Abba Yusuf of Kano State for his efforts to preserve the ancient state’s cultural heritage.
In a statement issued by Mr. Richard Benson, the State’s Publicity Secretary of the Party, the re-enthronement of the former Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, as the 16th Emir of Kano was noteworthy in keeping the tradition sacred.
Benson also commended Sen. Rabiu Kwankwaso, the former governor of the state and 2023 Presidential Candidate of the NNPP, for his role in ensuring the preservation of the tradition. He said:
“We, the New Nigeria People’s Party, Lagos State chapter, at this moment commend the effort of the amiable Governor of Kano Abba Yusuf, and our indefatigable National Leader Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso and the entire House of Assembly of Kano in ensuring that the cultural heritage of the people is preserved based on truth.
“This is what was just exhibited in Kano to prove that the cultural heritage of the ancient city of Kano is preserved, and the generality of the people are happy to see that their tradition and core values are intact,”
“We are delighted with the efforts to restore and preserve the values, traditions and heritage of the people, as well as the commitment to put everything back in place and restore the lost glory of the ancient city of Kano,” he added.
The NNPP expressed delight in the restoration and preservation of the values, traditions, and heritage of the people, emphasizing the commitment to restore the lost glory of the ancient city of Kano.
The re-enthronement followed the amended Kano State Emirates Council bill, which dissolved the Emirate Council and reinstated Sanusi to his position after being deposed in 2020.
