Speaking at the convocation ceremony of Skyline University in Kano on Sunday, Kwankwaso claimed that Lagos was trying to dominate other regions in the country, especially Kano, due to its overwhelming influence and support from the central government.
“Today, we can see very clearly that there are significant efforts from the Lagos axis to colonise this part of the country. Lagos wouldn’t allow us to choose even our Emir; instead, they want to impose their own Emir on Kano,” Kwankwaso alleged.
He further criticized what he termed as undue interference from Lagos in the internal matters of other states, pointing directly at President Tinubu’s administration. “Lagos today feels they only are Nigeria, interfering in other states’ affairs. We will not tolerate such actions here in Kano,” Kwankwaso added.
