Emir Bayero To Mrs Tinubu: “Tell Your Husband To Be Open On The Issue Of Relocation Of CBN, FAAN To Lagos”

By Daniel Maduka

The Emir of Kano, Alhaji  Ado Bayero, has asked President Ahmed Tinubu’s administration to be open and transparent on the issues concerning the relocation of some Departments in the Central Bank Of Nigeria CBN, and Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, FAAN, from Abuja to Lagos.

This is just as he appealed to the Wife of the President to personally convey to her husband the  high level of hunger and despondency plaguing the people of Kano under his watch .

The Kano Royal Father who spoke when he received Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, in his Palace on Monday, February 12, 2024, said although the economic hardship predated the present regime, pointed out that  the living conditions of the people have since degenerated.

“Even though we have several channels of communicating with the President, I believe that routing this message through you will further underscore the seriousness of the situation and at the same gives a better assurance that the message will be delivered.

Hunger and starvation, yes, did not start with the Government of the day, but the situation has become worse, hence our clarion call on the President to arrest the ugly trend ” Emir Bayero noted.

He stated that going by various speculations around  the issues of the  purported relocation of some arms of the CBN, and FAAN  there is the urgent need for the Federal Government to properly explain the matter to the people.

“I will advise that the Government do more enlightenment on the CBN and FAAN issues.

I personally cannot fathom, for now, the intentions behind the policy. The people should be made to understand the rationale behind the whole thing.”

Mrs Tinubu. who was in the Commercial city to officially commission a building at the Faculty of Law Abacha University named after her, was asked by Emir Bayero to convey to her husband, the serious security challenges being faced by most parts of the Northern Region , adding however that the  problem just like, that of  economic hardship, was inherited.
