Alhaji Yunusa Danyaya Emir of Ningi has appealed to President Muhammadu Buhari, to urgently intervene to help resolve the lingering crisis between the Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammdu Sanusi the second and Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje.
The Emir of Ningi said the intervention of Buhari is necessary to save the traditional institutions in the north from being destroyed by political establishments.
Alhaji Yunusa Danyaya, who made the appeal during an interview with journalists at his Palace in Ningi on Thursday, said the call became necessary in view of the endless problems between Sanusi and Ganduje.
The emir regretted that despite several efforts made by prominent Nigerians to settle the two warring sides, negligible success has been recorded.
He said, “it has become very necessary to take this matter to our father, the father of the land, President Muhammadu Buhari. “He alone, can solve this problem once and for all and he has settled difficult issues like this in the past. “I know him to an extent that he grew up in the Daura royal home so he has a relationship with that traditional institution.

The emir described Kano emirate as one of the revered traditional institution in the country says it was unfortunate that despite several efforts to end the crisis, it still persists.
“Buhari has proven to me to be a person who has high respect and regard for the traditional institution. “It is because of that, that I am begging him, please, in the name of God, I beg him to intervene in the problem happening in Kano and settle this dispute between the Emir and the Governor. “I have high hopes that Buhari will not allow the traditional institution be humiliated and bastardized.
“Your Excellency, Mr. President, we are begging you, for God’s sake, intervene in this matter so that every problem can be put to rest. The Emir will have his dignity; the government should also have its dignity that is my plea.”
Danyaya added that, “I am not speaking because I am supporting the Emir of Kano, no. I am speaking because I see that what is happening will destroy the traditional institution completely. “So I feel it is necessary to speak on this matter because I am in the position to speak out on what we see is not right.”
“whatever thing that could be done to humiliate Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, Emir of Kano, has been done and there is need for restrain and forgiveness”, he asserts.
