According to Vanguard, Saidu emphasized that Kano is a crucial political hub, and President Tinubu's inaction is concerning. He pointed out that former President Buhari intervened in a similar dispute between Emir Sanusi and Governor Abdullahi Ganduje in 2020, questioning why Tinubu can't do the same.

The Arewa leader then appealed to Emir Aminu Ado Bayero and Muhammadu Sanusi II to consider the damage the impasse has caused, reminding them that power comes from God. He also called on politicians to stop exploiting divisions for selfish interests.
