Aliyu Abdulkadir, dethroned Emir of Gaya, says he has
accepted his faith.
On Friday, Abba Yusuf, governor of Kano, dethroned the Emirs
of Bichi, Rano, Karaye, Kano and Gaya, and reinstated Muhammad Sanusi II as the
Emir of Kano.
Sanusi was dethroned in 2020 after he fell out with
Abdullahi Ganduje, former governor of the state.
Yusuf gave the sacked monarchs 48 hours to vacate their
palaces.
While the Emirs of Bichi, Rano, Karaye, and Gaya have
complied with the directive, Aminu Ado Bayero, dethroned emir of the Kano, has
not. Bayero has called on the “authorities” to ensure justice.
Speaking with BBC Hausa, Abdulkadir said he believes that
the development was predestined before he was born.
The former emir said he has no plan to challenge the Kano
state government over its decision to sack him, adding that he does not hold
any grudge against anybody.
“If this happens to
anyone, he will not be happy, but Allah has brought it, no matter what, there
is an end to it,” he said.
“Allah has written it even before we were born that it will
be, so we should not be angry about anything. This is Allah’s doing and we
accepted it with open arms.”
“We are the acceptors of destiny. This is what Allah willed
and this is what will be done. We have no intention of going to court. We have
accepted destiny, we thank God.”
There have been protests in some parts of Kano because of
the governor’s decision to reinstate Sanusi.
