Federal lawmakers from different political parties, under the aegis of G-60, have urged the Federal Government to steer clear of the Emirate tussle in Kano State.
The tussle has pitched the dethroned Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado Bayero, and the reinstated Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II and their supporters against one another, causing tension in the ancient city.
Reacting to the crisis in a statement over the weekend, the lawmakers asked the Federal Government not to destabilise the relative peace in Kano by interfering in the emirate tussle.
In a statement jointly signed by Obi Aguocha of the Labour Party (LP) and Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the lawmakers said the emirate appointment is internal and within the purview of the Kano government authority.
The lawmakers also called on the federal government to allow the 16th Emir of Kano, Muhammad Sanusi II, to reign peacefully without any interference.
