Reacting to the action of the authorities in Kano state in an interview with BBC Hausa, the dethroned monarch said he bore no grudge against anybody.
He added that he had no plan to challenge his dethronement in court.
He said:
“Nobody will feel happy about this development, but it is Allah that made you [on the throne], and everything has time.
“Allah has predestined that this would happen long before we were born, therefore we do not hold grudge against anybody. It is the will of Allah and we have accepted it wholeheartedly.
“This is how God wanted it, and it must be done that way. We have no intention of going to court. We have accepted it in good fate. We thank Allah.”
He also prayed for sustainable peace in Gaya and Kano State.
Protest hits Gaya, Kano state
Meanwhile, protesters on Sunday, May 26, demonstrated on the streets of Gaya, one of the five emirates affected by the repealed Kano emirates council law.
On Sunday morning, May 26, some supporters of the town reportedly protested the state lawmakers and Governor Abba Yusuf’s decision.
Wielding placards and chanting anti-government songs, the disgruntled residents alleged that there was injustice, adding that the dissolution of the emirate had a political undertone.
