By Suleiman AnyalewechiThe Kano State Government on Thursday, January 29, 2026, assured that the long drawn battle for the soul of the Kano Emirate throne will soon be amicably resolved. But at a media briefing on Thursday, the Kano State Commissioner for Information and Internal Affairs, Ibrahim Waiya, assured that efforts are underway to bring the leadership tussle to an amicable end. Although, he did not give details of the peace efforts, however, there have been insinuations suggesting that Emir Bayero may be sacrificed. In fact, not a few keen observers fear that the Emirship tussle may have formed part of the bargaining chips for the recent defection of Governor Yusuf to the APC. For the records, Governor Yusuf is not only a member of the Kano Royal Family, but a close relation of Emir Sanusi.
