Former Kano State governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso, had accused Lagos of alleged plot to colonize the North.

Kwankwaso laid the accusation while speaking at a recent event at Skyline University, Kano.

The New Nigeria Peoples Party’s (NNPP) 2023 Presidential candidate, in his address shared on X on Sunday, further accused Lagos of preventing Kano from choosing its Emir.

“The Emir is just being a stooge at this very difficult time in our country- especially this part of the country, Northern Nigeria.

“Today, we can see very clearly that there is a lot of effort from the Lagos axis to colonize this part (the North) of the country. Today, Lagos will not allow us to choose our emir.” Kwankwaso said.
