Kwankwaso said Governor Kabir Abba Yusuf had promised to return the Kano throne to one if elected as governor during the 2023 election campaign.

As reported by The Nation, the former Kano state governor stated this during an interview on Arise News in Abuja.

Kwankwaso, however, alleged that some persons in Abuja pressured the former Emir, Alhaji Ado Bayero into coming to Kano.

He added that Bayero alongside others, had accepted the dissolution of the five emirates created by the Umar Abdullahi Ganduje government.
