Kano Emirate Crisis: Fence-sitting senior official opts for Bayero
A new twist has appeared in the Kano Emirate crisis as a senior official who had refused to take side in the crisis seems to have moved to the side of the deposed emir, Aminu Ado Bayero.
Abbas Sanusi, who holds the title of Galadiman Kano, on Tuesday, wrote to the district heads, conveying Mr Ado Bayero’s directive on the upcoming Edel-El-Kabir Durbar procession.
In a circular he signed, Mr Sanusi, a senior councillor of the Kano emirate, directed all district heads within the territory to assemble alongside their village heads, horse riders, and other ranks for the durbar procession in the city.
The letter also directed them to converge at the mini palace in the Nasarawa GRA where Mr Ado Bayero has resided since the reinstated emir, Lamido Sanusi, was installed at Gidan Rumfa, the main palace.(premium Times)
