Settle Kano Emirate Tussle With Football Match, Ex-Senator Tells Sanusi II, Bayero

A former Senator representing Kaduna Central in the National Assembly, Comrade Shehu Sani, has offered a way out of the Kano Emirate logjam, suggesting a football match between the two contending parties instead of the ongoing judicial process.

He asked both Emir Muhammadu Sanusi II and Emir Aminu Ado Bayero to withdraw their cases from the courts and opt for the football field to determine who occupies the throne.

The former lawmaker, in his usual satirical posts on Facebook on Thursday, said the eventual winner of the soccer match should automatically take the Kano throne.

Senator Shehu Sani wrote: “His Highness Aminu Bayero and His Highness Sanusi should withdraw their case in court.Both should select football players from Kano for their teams and play a match in the Sani Abacha Stadium.

“The two contending Emirs should be captains of their Team.I can volunteer as a referee since I have some maternal and paternal relations in Bebeji and Bichi (Danzabuwa). Whoever emerges as the winner between Team Aminu Fc or Team Sanusi Fc automatically becomes the Emir.
