It, therefore, expressed concern regarding an alleged scheme to amend the local government and chieftaincy affairs law in Kano state in a manner beneficial to the deposed Emir Sanusi Lamido Sanusi.
Rano said:
"In the exercise of our collective freedom of expression, we organised this conference to emphasise our position on the sustainability of our emirates.
"We should make it clear that sustaining these emirates has the aspiration of the vast majority of our area."

"We are very sure that Governor Yusuf will, no doubt, not listen to those people calling for the dissolution of our emirates because people from our emirates voted for him and did not listen to his opponents whose campaign was not to elect him."
