Aminu Ado Bayero, the 15th Emir of Kano has sympathized with the people due to what he called the inability to witness the age old durbar tradition due to security advice from the police.
He announced the cancellation of the durbar ceremonies he initially planned to avoid breakdown of law and order in the state.
He also extended warm greetings to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Kano State Governor, Abba Yusuf, on the occasion of the Eid el Kabir celebration.
This was made known in a broadcast delivered at his residence, the Nassarawa mini palace.
“The cancellation of durbar activities follows security recommendations to maintain peace in the state,” he explained.
Bayero in his message emphasised the importance of sacrifice and prayer during Eid, expressing hopes for Tinubu and Yusuf to continue delivering democracy dividends, protect lives and properties and seek strength and courage from God.
The deposed Emir observed Eid prayer at the Nassarawa mini palace on Sunday at 8.00 am.
He commended the public for their continuous prayers for peaceful coexistence in Kano and the nation
The Kano Emirship is a subject of ligation following the dethronement of Bayero and the reinstatement of Mohammad Sanusi by Gov. Abba Yusuf of Kano State
