Vice President Kashim Shettima has issued a passionate call for peace and reconciliation in Kano State, emphasizing the urgent need to forgive one another and prevent political division. His message, delivered during a condolence visit to the family of the late Galadiman Kano, Abbas Sanusi, centered on the importance of unity amid recent political tensions.
Accompanied by Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano, the Vice President warned that political disunity could destabilize the historical and cultural foundation of the ancient city. He expressed deep concern over the escalating emirship conflict and the polarizing effect it has had on the people of Kano.
“Kano is not a state to gamble with,” Shettima stated. “The impact of losing peace is disastrous. Even the most glorious cities can be brought to their knees through division and unrest.”
He added:
“I beg of you, in the name of God, do not let politics divide us. Let’s focus on the bigger picture—Kano. Let us forgive, move forward, and maintain our unity.”
This appeal comes as the prolonged tussle over the Emir of Kano’s throne has intensified, sparking public debates and stirring community rifts. The emirship dispute has lingered for several months, contributing to rising tensions in the state.
The Vice President’s speech resonates with many Nigerians who believe that political reconciliation is essential for long-term peace in Kano. According to a BBC report, the emirship saga is deeply rooted in political interests and historical shifts.
