Many people are not happy that the Emir, a respected grandfather will be taking a new wife when his emirate and other neighbouring states have virtually been taken over by bandits. It is expected that such issues should come at a later time.
Meanwhile, Daura Emirate is concluding a grand plan to turban the son of President Yusuf Buhari as Talban Daura on Saturday 18th December 2021. Meanwhile, the presidency has indicated that both the President and First Lady, Aisha Buhari, including Governors, Diplomats and Ministers will be in attendance.
