A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress in Kano, Alhajj Alhassan Yaryasa, has called for the reconciliation of the two former governors and the political leaders in the state – Abdullahi Ganduje and Rabiu Kwankwaso to for peace in the state.
Yaryasa said, “Kano people want to live in peace, and they are after the progress and development of the state. There is the need for them – Kwankwaso and Ganduje – to forgive each other in order for Kano people to live in peace.
“My advice to Kano residents and the entire people of the state is that they should live in peace with one another because it’s the bedrock of any development in the society,” he added.
The APC chieftain stressed that the people of the state would continue to offer prayers for the peace to prevail in the state.
“With the dissolution of the five emirates If not because of prayers, Kano would have been on fire or in chaos by now.
“The matter is currently in court. So, it will be a contempt of court or a disrespect to the court if Governor Abba went ahead and reinstated Sanusi,” he said.
Yaryasa, noted that the dissolution of the new emirates was against the person of the former Governor Ganduje.
“We know before now people who don’t wish the state well have been calling on the governor to dissolve the emirates, and now that he has dissolved the emirates, let’s see what will happen.
“Those calling for the scrapping of the emirates are nothing but enemies of the state. I said it before, and I’m still maintaining my stand that scrapping the emirates will not augur well for the state,” he insisted.
According to Yaryasa, the state has witnessed unprecedented eight years of peace, stability, social, and economic progress without a day when the people of the state took to the streets to protest anything.
