He said:
“The federal government and President Bola Tinubu need to be cautious with Kano politics. It will destroy his presidency."
Galadima, who described Tinubu as his friend, said he had inherent knowledge of Kano politics and he knew how to deal with it.
He maintained that parties in Kano politics never agree on issues, citing his experience as the youth leader of the National Party of Nigeria (NPN).
Politicians asking Tinubu to remove Governor Yusuf
Galadima further claimed some powerful politicians from Kano had visited Tinubu to support them in removing Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf. He also alleged that some rich men supported the governor's removal.
The Kano-born politician said he expected Tinubu to be smarter by asking them why they could not win the election in the state in the first place.
Galadima's comment followed the alarm raised by the NNPP's national leader, Rabiu Kwankwaso, who accused the Tinubu-led federal government of listening to the "enemies of Kano" on the royal tussle.
Sanusi speaks on plans if dethroned again
Legit.ng earlier reported that the Emir of Kano Muhammadu Sanusi II said he would care less should another government remove him from office again.
Sanusi said he was concerned about the disruption of the emirate system, which had been preserved over 1,000 years ago.
The former CBN governor expressed gratefulness to the Kano government and assembly for correcting the deeds of the past government.
