The Kano state government, led by Governor Abba Yusuf, has stated that the 14th Emir, Aminu Ado Bayero, was never officially recognised as an Emir of Kano.
Sanusi Bature, the chief press secretary to Kano state governor, disclosed this in an interview with Arise News TV.
Bature, clarified that former Governor Abdullahi Ganduje appointed Bayero as the Emir of the eight Metropolitan local governments within Kano city and not for the 44 local governments of the state.
Recall that that Yusuf had deposed Ado Bayero while reinstating Muhammed Sanusi as Emir of Kano.
Despite the governorâs action, Bayero has refused to vacate his Nassarawa palace and has since contested the state governmentâs action in court.
But speaking on the matter on Saturday, June 22, Bature explained that:
TimesNow.com.ng earlier reported that the 16th Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, has said that he is unbothered whether he is removed again as long as the Kano Emirate remains one.
Sanusi, in an interview with The Sun Newspaper, blamed the crisis rocking the Emirate on the immediate past administration in Kano state led by Abdullahi Umar Ganduje.
