Why I visited Kwankwaso – Sheikh Daurawa

The Commander General of Kano state Hisbah Board, Sheikh Aminu Ibrahim Daurawa, has explained his motive when he led 100 Imams in Kano to visit Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.

Daurawa who explained that Kwankwaso and some islamic scholars had not been in good terms after he accused some of the preachers of meddling into politics, said he went to mediate between them

In a telephone interview, Sheikh Daurawa said he was at the house of the former governor to douse tensions mounting between him (Kwankwaso) and the Ulamas.

Sheikh Daurawa said that as a respected scholar in the state, he is expected to intervene in whatever has the potential of leading to a crisis in the state.

“You know it was alleged that Senator Kwankwaso has made some statement regarding religious issues and this statement has made some Ulamas in the state to challenge and questioned the utterances leading to tension. It was also reported that the Ulamas had taken the decision to continue challenging Kwankwaso in their Friday sermons”.

However, there are speculations that the Hisbah boss risks losing his job for leading the team of Ulamas on a visit to the former governor who is seen as an opposition to the state government.

Our reporter gathered that the office of the commander is under lock and key.
