Oct. 3, 2024 - Daily Trust

The National Security Adviser, Mallam Nuhu Ribadau, on Thursday addressed Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero as the Emir of Kano. Both Bayero and Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi are laying claim to the revered stool of the Emir of Kano.

In March 2020, former Governor Abdullahi Ganduje had dethroned Sanusi and named Bayero Emir. However at the 1st Annual International Lecture organised by the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) with the theme, “Insecurity in the Sahel (2008-2024)” in Abuja on Thursday, Ribadu addressed Bayero as the Emir of Kano.

While recognizing dignitaries at the event, Ribadu had said, “Of course the Emir of Kano, Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero.”His comment elicited a thunderous applause in the hall.
