Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje has said he would continue to pray for God to protect the new emirates created by his administration from all evils.
Ganduje said that the four new emirates have come to stay.
“Even if we are not in government, we are praying and we will keep praying for God to protect these emirates from all evils. I thank you all,” Ganduje said.
The governor stated this on Monday during the Workers’ Day celebrations held at Sani Abacha Stadium, Kano,
He said God will not bring anybody that will destroy them.
This is in reply to comments to the former governor of the state and leader of the Kwankwasiyya movement that the incoming administration of NNPP would review the establishment of the emirates.
Ganduje had carved out four additional emirates, including the Kano emirate to make them five.
He later dethroned the then Emir of Kano, Malam Muhammadu Sanusi II, who was installed by Kwankwaso.

However, while concluding his speech at the Workers’ Day celebration, Ganduje said the four new emirates are a symbol of unity, progress, and the well-being of the people.
“Any of you that visits the headquarters of these new emirates will believe me that we have brought development to these places.
“These emirates were created for unity, progress, and history, and also for the recovery of the reputation of the traditional institutions. We created them to honour the people of these regions.”
“I want to assure you that these emirates are permanent, they have come to stay. And anybody that will destroy them, God Almighty will not bring him to Kano state.
“We assure you that these emirates were created because of you, because of your progress.
