“The five first-class emirs we met on the throne were only commissioners appointed by Ganduje to assist him to win elections in 2023. They were sustained and they lost. And so their tenure came to an end.

“The fact remains that immediately Ganduje lost the elections and stepped down as Governor of Kano State, they ought to have also vacated their seats because none of them occupied the vacant seat of Emir of Kano since Muhammadu Sanusi II left.

“But may be they didn’t accept that their tenure has expired after their benefactor lost the elections which witnessed Ganduje’s exit from the the seat of power in the state.”
